Hello,

I ran mri_glmfit with the following fsgd file:

GroupDescriptorFile 1                   
Title CJD                               

Class MM1_MV1                   
Class MV2_VV2                   

Variables       frontal         

Input   7693    MV2_VV2 2.930667
Input   11985   MV2_VV2 2.410333
Input   13082   MV2_VV2 2.529333

Input   13667a  MM1_MV1 2.604333
Input   13900a  MM1_MV1 2.601333
Input   14094a  MM1_MV1 2.523333

Input   16848a  MV2_VV2 2.533333
Input   16952a  MV2_VV2 2.486

My two contrast matrices are:
one.mtx = [ 0 0 1 0 ]
two.mtx = [ 0 0 0 1 ]

When running the mri_glmfit command "mri_glmfit --glmdir new.frontal.lgi --fsgd 
new.frontal.fsgd.txt --fwhm 30 --surf fsaverage lh --y lh.pial_lgi.fwhm0.mgh 
--C one.mtx --C two.mtx”, I get the following output:

Possible problem with experimental design:
Check for duplicate entries and/or lack of range of
continuous variables within a class.
If you seek help with this problem, make sure to send:
  1. Your command line:
    mri_glmfit --glmdir new.frontal.lgi --fsgd new.frontal.fsgd.txt --fwhm 30 
--surf fsaverage lh --y lh.pial_lgi.fwhm0.mgh --C one.mtx --C two.mtx 
  2. The FSGD file (if using one)
  3. And the design matrix above
Attempting to diagnose further 
SumSq: Min=2.828427 (col 1), Max=10.485683 (col 4)
 ... could not determine the cause of the problem


Can anyone give me some insight into what might be going wrong? 

Thanks so much,
