Hello^^

I would like to use the NiiStat Matlab scripts to perform some voxel-based lesions symptom analysis.
I have downloaded the newest version from github (as a .zip file) and added the path to this NiiStat-master folder as well as to the SPM12 folder in matlab. After writing NiiStatGUI the GUI appears and everything seems fine. I have also prepared the excel file containing the behavioral data in the special way described in the MediaWiki.
However, nothing happens after pressing the "Go"-button. There is no results-folder or file produced anywhere. In the Matlab command window a struct with the defined parameters is printed as well as the Matlab version and all of its available toolboxes, but nothing else. There is no error message either.

I would be really greatful for your input and ideas!

Best regards,
Magdalena

Hi Magdalena,

A couple things.
First, are all the .mat files in the same directory as the Excel file?
Is the Excel file specified in the proper format with a 'NiiStat' tab.
Do the filenames in the first column match the files in that same folder.
Did you set up an 'actual analysis' before clicking on GO (i.e. you need to choose a statistical test [e.g. FDR], an atlas [e.g. jhu] and modalitie(s) to include [i.e. REST] in other tabs at the top of the GUI).
If not enough options are selected it will run, but just not produce anything.

Thank you so much for your answer, this was very helpful!
Indeed I was not aware that I had to actively select the voxel-option (as I did not need any ROI analysis). I assumed that the voxel-option was selected per default or the program would remind me to do so.
Anyways thanks a lot,
Magdalena
