The 'mean_img' trait of a MCFLIRTOutputSpec cannot be generated

Software Support

Summary of what happened:

When I tried to run the preprocessing function on the fMRI images in BIDS format, it stuck at generating the mean image for MCFlirt.

Command used:

I followed an excellent Nipype tutorial by https://miykael.github.io/nipype_tutorial/

Version:

Python: 3.10.9
All executions are on jupyter notebook

Relevant log outputs (up to 20 lines):

Traceback:

I have tried different methods like https://neurostars.org/t/mcflirt-error-when-trying-to-output-the-mean-image/17957
and it still didn’t help.
