Dear mICA toolbox developers,

This toolbox is a great idea and I haven't had many problems either with the installation or with initial use. However I definitely have some questions (perhaps this is also my inexperience!) and it would be extremely helpful to have some documentation/manual (including how to run the steps on the command line) to help navigate the toolbox.

I have a few questions if that's ok:

(1) Is it always necessary to input the files to be processed manually? I have been running the mICA steps through the command line to avoid doing this but I was wondering if there was a way to include the text file in the GUI as well.

(2) I am running group mICA on the HCP rest data - I am using a priori defined binarised striatal mask. However whether I run this on 10 or 100 subjects I get the following melodic error: No convergence after 500 steps. This only seems to be a problem for certain dimensionalities (I am running 2-20) and I initially missed this error as all the output was created.

Is this an error that you came across? Do you think it is because of the data (it looks fine to me) or some of the input parameters I am using (although I am essentially using just the defaults).

Thanks very much for your help, I would greatly appreciate it as I think this toolbox offers some really great stuff and would love to be able to use it fully!

Thanks,
Sara
