RE: unable to write the header...
Dear Elena,
There is no maximum number of subjects that the toolbox is able to deal with (many projects I work with involve hundreds of subjects, and some get into the thousands). I don't see anything in your response that would rule out option (c), since your computer or hard drive may have be set to sleep after, say, 30 minutes of no user-interaction, so if each subject takes about 2 minutes to process, running 10 subjects will finish in less than 30 minutes while running more subjects will not (and that will trigger the sleep condition, resulting in the hard-drive access errors you are seeing). Let me know if that makes sense

Alfonso

Dear Alfonso,
thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately, none of your suggestions seems to fit my problem. I have tested the same settings for the same analysis but just for 10 subjects and it worked without any problems. I tried by changing the name of the project as well (I changed from conn_project..... to test_01) and the same issue occured.
I was wondering: is there a maximum number of data (subjects) that the toolbox is able to deal with?
My intuition is that if there would be a way to break the 1st level analysis into pieces, it might work. However, is it possible to do the 1st level analysis separately for different subjects and then in a 2nd level analysis study the connectivity between the groups?I have tried to dig into the last question by copying the data and results from one test_project (with just 2 subjects) to other test_project but this didn´t work. I do not know if this is impossible or if there is something else to be done...
In my case I have 2 groups of individuals: group 1 (21 subjects) group 2 (21 subjects) and 2 conditions (experimental task vs control task).
I thank you for your help :)
