Hi, I get an error message when I try to average with mne\_process\_raw, saying "No active object to assign the name to". When I name before outfile in the description/ave file I get the message "misplaced outfile". Including the path to the outfile into the description file did not help. I do not get a log file. The command was run on theta (using ave\_encode.csh). I attached an example description file Any help with this is greatly appreciated, thanks, Sarah P.S. Here is the full message when running ave\_encode.csh theta:ssteinv[9] ave\_encode.csh mne\_process\_raw version 1.36 compiled at Apr 5 2007 16:02:03 32-bit architecture.
