Group level error in FSL's feat: 'Attempted to multiply images/ROIs of different sizes'

Howdy,

I’m running a univariate analysis at the group level in FSL, and FEAT spits out the following:

Post-stats

/u/project/CCN/apps/fsl/5.0.9/bin/fslmaths stats/zstat1 -mas mask thresh_zstat1
Image Exception : #3 :: Attempted to multiply images/ROIs of different sizes

I checked the zstat1.nii.gz and mask.nii.gz images and they appear to have different dimensions. Using the fslhd command, I see that the zstat’s dimensions are 91x109x90 (in voxels) and the mask’s dimensions are 91x109x91.

My first guess was that a subject or two had gnarly dropout and their masks were messing up the group average, but I double checked my subject-level feat summaries and didn’t find anything to that effect (I also spot-checked a few subject-level masks for good measure but those were fine). Does anyone have any idea as to what may be going on here? I’m unsure what else could be wrong.
