Hi !
I am trying to use the mne-bids-pipeline to preprocess my MEG data, but I got an error at the 3rd step (preprocessing/_03_make_epochs) :
[2022-11-13 12:15:15] │ ⏳️ preprocessing/_03_make_epochs sub-02 ses-recording A critical error occurred. The error message was: need at least one array to stack
Starting post-mortem debugger.

I checked which arrays were causing this error by printing them, and this is what I found:
{'ref_meg': {'images': [], 'norm': []}, 'mag': {'images': [array([[147.4465529 , 149.07722538, 134.02208994, ..., 82.84461758,

It looks like my ref_meg is empty, but it’s not supposed to be. With the first plot provided by the pipeline, I can easily visualize that I have data in ref_meg.
I tried different settings in the config file (like setting ch_type = ‘meg’ or ‘mag’, or changing the duration of my epochs, or even setting one or more conditions to define my epoch), but I couldn’t solve this issue.
Another thing, all my events appear in the first plot (the one that shows the data after filtering with all the events), but one of them is not detected when I place it as a condition for my epoch :
preprocessing/_03_make_epochs sub-02 ses-recording A critical error occurred. The error message was: 'Event name "Bad" could not be found. The following events are present in the data: Good, LaughPosed, LaughReal, OffSet, Start'
I don’t know if these problems I related…
(Really nice pipeline by the way!)
Thank you for your help
