Depending on the exact way you are using this dataset type you might
actually get two datasets in one -- one of those has no metric assigned,
because it is not fMRI data. To be able to figure out what is going on
it would be good if you could post the relevant code snippets and an
example of your event definitions.

Thanks,
Michael
