RE: flexible ANOVA spreading interaction
Dear Joyce,

Not explicitly. The simplest way to do that in CONN would be to perform a standard ANOVA interaction test (which will look at any differences with treatment which are different in patients vs. controls), and then perform post-hoc analyses (or simply evaluate the individual pre/post patients/controls effects for the resulting pathways) in order to filter out and/or interpret the found effects.

Hope this helps
Alfonso

Dear All:

In our study, we'd like to test the treatment effects in patient group, as compared with control group. Our hypothesis is the treatment will normalize Amygdala-prefrontal connectivity (more similar to control). Thus we have two groups (Patient and control) and two conditions (pre-treatment, post-treatment), and we are particularly interested in "spreading" (ordinal) interactions (i.e. pathways that patients improved over treatment, but controls remain the same), as opposed to "cross-over" (disordinal) interaction (for example, pathways that patients improved over treatment, but controls decreased over treatment). I wonder if CONN is able to do this type of flexible ANOVA test? and How? Many thanks

Joyce
