Hi Yi,
There are two approaches to handling your case:
1) At individual subject level, test the linear and quadratic trends among those four levels:
[
afni.nimh.nih.gov]
and then take the effect estimates (beta values) for the trends to group levels using 3dttest++ or 3dMEMA.
2) 3dLME.R can handle this directly at group level, but I'm still working on the interface.
