Error following SCR tutorials: (call of pspm_butter & pspm_prepdata failed)

[Kasim Acar]

Hi everyone,

made a similar post in GitHub about a week ago, hoping to get a response here.

OS: macOS Catalina
Matlab: R2019b
PsPM: 4.2.1

When following the tutorials for both GLM and Non-Linear Model, I get errors:

For GLM:

23-Dec-2019 19:48:58 - Running 'Import'

Pulse data was converted to waveform with a sampling rate of 5000.00 Hz, to allow 10-fold oversampling.

Although this actually creates the file "pspm_trsp_1_25.mat", I seem to get errors when trying to specify the first-level GLM, which does not create "glm_25.mat":

For the Non-Linear Model, this is what I get:

Also, in the non-linear tutorial, it says there should be filtered SCR data named: 'tpspm_s...',
However, I only find files named 'tscr_s..." in a folder called 'scr'. Do I have the wrong data or am I missing something?

Have attached the .mat files for both the GLM and Non-Linear tutorial.

All help is much appreciated

Kindly,
Kasim
