Hi Stacy
[1 1 0 0] will give you the average effect of your regressor across
both sessions, which I think is what you want.
[1 -1 0 0] will tell you where the effect of your regressor differs
between sessions (as a t test, this would tell you where the effect is
bigger in the first session than the second).
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
