Hey there,
The first thing to say is you shouldn't be running mixed
effects analyses on only 3 observations. You end up fitting 3 parameters
at each voxel, so you need _minimum_ 5 data points at each voxel to do a
mixed effects analysis. (Think about trying to make a statement about a
whole population when you have met only 3 .). I'm pretty sure this is
what's causing the errors.
We're not sure why this is taking so long. In our experience, simple
anayses like this might take an hour. It may be a knock on effect of the
error.
Sorry we can't be more helpful
