Dear Maryam

The error seems to indicate that there is some problem with at least one of the 2nd-level covariates used in this analysis (which contains an empty value for some subject). Try going to Setup.Covariates (2nd-level) and displaying the covariates involved in this analysis to see if you notice anything amiss there.

Dear Alfonso,

I have completed the first-level analyses in my CONN project for SBC. However, when attempting to proceed to the second-level analyses, I encountered an error. Please note that all the NII files from the first level have been saved.

Could you please provide any assistance or hints on how to resolve this issue?

Here is the full error message:
