Group analysis using 3dLMEr and SPM contrast images

Hi there folks,

I could use some help with deciphering the appropriate AFNI group analysis program for a data set I’m working with.

My design is a two-group design, medicated vs undmedicated groups, with scanner, age, sex, and dosage (medicated group only) covariates and I’m ultimately interested in testing group differences in the different task trial types.

I have preprocessed task fmri data and have conducted the appropriate 1st level analyses in SPM. My question is if its possible to take the first level con_000*.nii images to 3dLMEr to perform group level analyses?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Almost all AFNI programs including 3dLMEr accept NIfTI files as input. Let us know if you encounter any issues.
