Whenever I try to run "Brain Parcellation" PANDA fails and "BrainParcellation_pipeline.loginfo" does not contain more info than this:

What could be the reason and how do I have to use " Brain Parcellation"? There are not many options so what is wrong if I take sub_0001_FA.nii from a first successful run of PANDA and a T1-image from the same subject?

Yes, I use "brain images" produced by bet. But BrainParcellation does not finish. It stops sometime after writing something like

Setting subsampling
Setting reg mode
Setting lambda

several times in PartitionTemplate2FA_00001.log. But then suddenly this file disappears after the process has stopped.

After changing parameters in bet and catching some output of PartitionTemplate2FA_00001.log with "tail -f" I got the follwing messages:

# tail -f ./logs/PartitionTemplate2FA_00001.log

This may or may not be a problem in your application, but you should look into it

Dear  Markus，

  Please replace the original g_PartitionTemplate2FA.m of PANDA with the attached one.

  Best Regards

Suyu

Dear Suyu,

thanks a lot! It is working now.

Kind regards,

    Markus
