External Email - Use Caution Dear Freesurfer experts,
I get the error that you can find at the end of this message when I am running mri_glmfit. Whenever I run an analysis in which the experimental design has more than 12 columns, I get the same error, whereas if the experimental design has less than 12 columns, the analysis is successful. I also send you the fsgd.txt file (through FTP File Exchange). In this file you can see that there are four groups that have been created by the combination of two discrete variables (sex and apoe-type). How can I solve this problem? Thank you in advance.
