I usually run Eventstats with my preprocessed FEAT directories as the inputs. Does this pull filtered_func_data to analyze? I want to use the res4d.nii.gz file because I regressed out a nuisance regressor. How would I change my options file? I usually have this at the top of the options file:

featinputs
featavgspace standard
featoutputspace standard

Thanks!

Yes, it uses filtered_func_data by default. You can change this by adding the following line to your options file:

featdatapath pathToData

where pathToData is a path relative to the .feat directory. As I said the default is:

featdatapath filtered_func_data

but you can change it to:

featdatapath stats/res4d

Others have used this with success, but it is a new addition to the tool, so please let me know if you have any problems.

I added "featdatapath stats/res4d" to my options file. I ran Eventstats for my subjects and realized that all of the es_standardized_CONDITION_avg.nii.gz files are empty them when I open them in FSL. I discovered this when I did ROI analysis and everything came back empty.

I re-ran eventstats for one subject and took out the "featdatapath stats/res4d" so that it would just use filtered_func instead and this worked.

On my machine, I am using the eventstats scripts in bxh_xcede_tools_1.9.9.2. Do I need to update this or change anything else for the residuals to work as inputs?

There hasn't been any change in this functionality since 1.9.9.2. By "empty", do you mean they are blank? Can you verify that the res4D files themselves aren't blank?

I had checked the res4d files and there is data in them. By empty, I mean the outputs, es_standardized_CONDITION_avg.nii.gz, are blank when I open them in FSLVIEW (whole picture is black with 0 intensity) and the file size is smaller than expected (38KB instead of like 11,000KB).

If you could send me (privately) the path to one of your eventstats directories, I might be able to figure out what's going on.
