Hi everybody, I'm new in this forum and I have just downoladed SDM. I'm trying to use to tutorial tool, and when I'm not able to launch the preprocessing. The error is "Launching Preprocessing...
Launched: sdm pp gray matter, 1, 20, gray matter, 1
Analyzing coordinates
WARNING: File 'Menka.nii.gz', 'Menka.spm_mni.txt', 'Menka.fsl_mni.txt', 'Menka.other_mni.txt', 'Menka.spm_brett.txt', 'Menka.fsl_brett.txt', 'Menka.other_tal.txt' or 'Menka.no_peaks.txt' not found.

Current working directory is "C:/Program Files/SDM Meta Analysis/tutorial"
Formerly when I tried to click on "Globals", it said "No maps found, please run preprocessing and try again". Someone could tell what the problem is? This question has puzzled me for a long time.Thank you very much!
Bye

Dear Fangyoumutu,

It appears that SDM can't find any map/file for study Menka. Can you please double check the C:/Program Files/SDM Meta Analysis/tutorial directory to assert that there is a file for the menka study?

If problem persists, could you please send us a copy of the tutorial directory to see if we can reproduce the problem?

Best,

Anton

I was conducting a Coordinate based meta-analysis of networks ,I have only coordinate files for each study but no maps. I have saved my files as "MF1.spm_mni.txt and MF2.spm_mni.txt" and the sdm table for them as "MF1 and MF2" respectively, all in the same working directory as well (D:/Mekha/SDM).
After launching preprocessing ,I got the following warning  'Launched: sdm pp gray matter, 1, 20, gray matter, 2 Analyzing coordinates';
"WARNING: File 'MF1.nii.gz', 'MF1.spm_mni.txt', 'MF1.fsl_mni.txt', 'MF1.other_mni.txt', 'MF1.spm_brett.txt', 'MF1.fsl_brett.txt', 'MF1.other_tal.txt' or 'MF1.no_peaks.txt' not found."

Could you please help me understand and resolve the same ,as I have left the analysis overnight to run as well but it showed no progress ,please let me know what can be done further.
A reply at the earliest will be deeply appreciated as this work is a part of my thesis which is to be submitted this month.

Thanks and regards,
Mekha

Hello, is your problem solved? Because I encountered a similar problem, I hope you can share the way to solve it, thanks.

Hello, I just encountered a similar problem, could you share the way to solve it? Where is the space in the folders? How to delete it? Thanks.

Dear fangyoumutu,

 

Please remove all spaces in the path to the working directory, and ensure you have all the required text files on it. Let us know if you still cannot make it work.

 

Best,
Lydia
