Dear SPM community,

I have an experimental design with three independent groups each receiving one of three different treatments. This is expected to decrease activity in group A and increase activity in group C, as compared to placebo (group B).
How can I incorporate this hypothesis in a single model on the second level? Would the solution be anything close to a design matrix like the following one:

-1 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 1

Many thanks in advance for all answers and hints!
Yoan
