[Eeglablist] Error in PREP pipeline

[Rebecca Reh]

Hello all,

I’m getting the following error when I run the PREP pipeline through EEGLab, and I’m hoping someone on this list has some insight into how to fix it! 

Error using backupEEGOptions
Cannot backup EEG options. Invalid cross-device link
 Backup options file
 /tmp/tp1c951126_1ef0_43b2_9405_bf562a596b72.m
 Current options file
 ~/eeg_options.m

Error in setupForEEGLAB (line 44)
[backupOptionsFile, currentOptionsFile] = backupEEGOptions();

Error in prepPipeline (line 45)
    [backupOptionsFile, currentOptionsFile, warningsState] = setupForEEGLAB();

Error in preprocessing_pipeline_rsEEG (line 89)
    EEG = prepPipeline(EEG, struct('ignoreBoundaryEvents', true));

It looks like the eeg_options.m file and the location of the tmp/ file are on different drives, but I’m not sure why this has suddenly started being an issue (it was working previously) or how to fix it.

Thanks in advance,
