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.
Preprocessing Monte Carlo permutation

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.
