You will want to use a parametric modulator and look at the betas
related to the modulator.

Then in the contrast window how I enter the beta values ( i.e, if the first column is the time of the condition and the second is the grips strengths should I put just 1 and zero for the other over the first column and assuming by adding the strength that this is the effects or should I put 0 1? In either case, at least for me, I could not understand how this be interrupted in terms of the relation between them)
