I am trying to set up my pre-processing script using the uber_subject.py, though, when I attempt to run this command, I received the following message:
**** failed to import PyQt4.QtGui ****
PyQt4 must be installed to run the uber_subject.py GUI
→ see the output of: uber_subject.py -help_install
Reading other posts, it seems like uber_subject.py is no longer recommended. I was wondering whether there was a way for me to develop my basic preprocessing script using the uber_subject.py?
The PyQt4 dependency had turned in to being a bit of a pain, and indeed we don’t really recommend using uber_subject.py to build FMRI processing scripts any more. It’s role was to build an afni_proc.py command, and it lagged behind in being able to provide the full flexibility of afni_proc.py. Also, we have a lot of “starter” examples in the afni_proc.py help: https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/doc/htmldoc/programs/afni_proc.py_sphx.html#ahelp-afni-proc-py
… that we think are probably more useful starting points, as well as in the Bootcamp dataset (in AFNI_data6/FT_analysis/).
We can also help recommend a starting example or discuss processing command options if you want to describe some of your input data and desired analyses?
Thank you very much for your quick response! I will try to create a pre-processing script using the examples online.
Thank you for your feedback.
