Hi Swati, - yes, you can treat the percent change maps (PC1) as the signal instead of the thickness and do a regular analysis (so either multiple comparisons or sim etc).
- and yes, I would always recommend to use the linear mixed effects model instead as it is specifically designed for longitudinal data. The percent change (2 step approach) is a remainder of the time before we had the LME. Both models are similar only if the longitudinal data has the same number of time points for each subject and if those time points are equally spaced. That is rarely the case and LME can account for that. Best, Martin > On 17.
