Dear Karin, In principle this is not a problem. Basically, the same rules apply for DCM as for a standard mass univariate GLM analysis: if you have enough trials to reliably find a difference using the GLM, then DCM will also be able to deal with this. Just as you generally wouldn't run a GLM modelling only 1 event (or block) the same holds for DCM.
