Hi Sandra,
I'd recommend using fMRI-CPCA
https://www.nitrc.org/projects/fmricpca
http://www.cnoslab.com/cpca.html
this will allow all of your condition comparisons to be carried out in
a standard statistics package like SPSS.
Best,
Todd Woodward

Do I have to include an additional factor for run (or in SPM Terms "session")?
