Greetings.
I have what is effectively a mixed block/event related design. I have two block types (A and B) and two event types (x and y). The two events occur with equal probability in both of the blocks, so there shouldn't be any problems with double specifying the regressors (e.g., if block A only had x events and block B only had y events).
My question is how to go about setting up the contrasts to be able to examine the events based on whether they occurred during block A or B. If my GLM is set up as {x y A B}, is the contrast for those x events that occurred during block A just [1 0 1 0]? This seems like this would give me the union of the two regressors, rather than the intersection (which is what I am after). Should I, instead, be looking at doing a conjunction between the contrast for all x events and the contrast for all A blocks?
Thanks in advance,
suzanne
