Hi Fulvio, You can use FEAT. For the 1st level, disable the temporal filters, use a simple regressor coding your independent variable, don't convolve that with any HRF, and adjust the registration options so that it's appropriate to your kind of data. Another option is to use PALM. However, hardly compound symmetry will hold. You can still use whole-block sign-flipping (one block per subject), and permute subjects that have the same number of observations. A third option is Bryan Guillaume's SwE toolbox: https://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/staff/academic-research/nichols/software/swe All the best, Anderson On Tuesday, 12 September 2017, Fulvio Da Re <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'd like to start a structural MRI longitudinal analysis in my Alzheimer's > Disease cohort, studying the atrophy progression.
