Dear Will,
If your scanner stopped, it is usually not recommended to compare
directly 2 conditions coming from the 2 sessions. It would be better
if you could compare them "indirectly". Something like: (1A minus
something_from_session1)minus(2A minus something_from_session2).
Hope this helps,
Mauro.
>Hi Will
>>Lets say I have 2 scanning sessions. In both sessions there are
>>conditions A and B resulting in: 1A 1B 2A 2B
>>Between the scanning sessions I need to give the participants a
>>different set of instructions for how to act during the session e.g.
>>Instruction A, start scanning 1A 1B, stop scanning, Instruction B,
>>start scanning 2A 2B.

>>My question is: when I set up my GLM model can I have 4 columns (1A
>>1B 2A 2B) and compare 1A to 2A (and vice versa)?
