For each subject generate three contrasts. These will
be uI-uC for each of the three conditions.
At the second level select a full factorial design. Then create
a single factor with three levels. Your design will be a one-way ANOVA
with three levels. You'll have three columns in your design matrix - one
for each condition.
After estimating the model parameters, select the three contrasts
(select multiple contrasts by
pressing the control button - or is it shift, shift/control I forget)
[1 0 0], [0 1 0] and [0 0 1].
Best wishes,
Will.
