A scary can of worms - does FEAT work on PET/SPECT? Well - we haven't
tested it ONCE on PET data, so seems risky to make any promises.....but in
theory.....should be ok.....
There are bound to be practical issues that come up - will be very
interested to see how you get on. The new FEAT5 group stats stuff (FLAME)
should add value to group stats with PET just like with FMRI, but as I
said, we've not tested it at all. Your particular case (N=7/N=43) could
well be a good example of when FLAME is better than simple OLS
(ordinary-least-squares, ie dumb "random effects").
Thanks, Steve.
