I am comparing signal strength in sparse versus continuous acquisition in animals. I have some sessions of sparse and some sessions of continuous for 2 subjects.
Because I cannot do a group study, I am wondering if there is any way, at the first-level analysis, of including the sparse data and the continuous data in the same statistical model?
I assume that analyzing continuous and sparse separately and then comparing con images from one type of scan and the other type won't work because the scaling applied will be different?
I would like to be able to do more than just do an eyeball comparison of activation extents or t-values, but I don't know how I can statistically compare the two types of scanning protocols within a single subject.
Any advice gratefully received.
