Hi Hu,


you can find a good explanation of how to set up your contrasts in the flexible factorial design here: http://www.sbirc.ed.ac.uk/cyril/download/Contrast_Weighting_Glascher_Gitelman_2008.pdf

Subject: [SPM] Flexible factorial design contrast
 

Dear spm Experts,


I am desperately looking for help. I'm wondering if I set Flexible factorial design contrast rightly.


The experiment design is 2(group: patients, controls)*2(task: memory, perception) 

1 Flexible factorial design
1) variance: subject (independence-yes, variance-equal); group (independence-yes, variance-unequal); task (independence-no, variance-equal);
Specify subjects: condition- [1 1; 1 2] / [2 1; 2 2] 
Main effects & Interactions: Main effect, subject, 1; Main effectgroup, 2£»Main effecttask, 3; Interaction, [2 3] 
2) Contrast£ºF-contrast
Main effect group: 1  -1   0  0  0.5  0.5  -0.5  -0.5
Main effect task: 0  0  1 -1  0.5   -0.5  0.5  -0.5
Interaction group*task: 0  0  0  0  1 -1 -1  1
G1T1: 1  0  1  0  1  0  0  0
G2T1: 0  1  1  0  0  0  1  0
G1T1-G2T1: 1 -1 0 0 1 0 -1 0
G2T1-G1T1: -1  1 0 0 -1 0 1 0
G1T1-G1T2: 0 0 1 -1 1 -1 0 0
G2T1-G2T2: 0 0 1 -1 0 0 1 -1

I have referred to the paper (Glascher & Gitelman, 2008)   two groups, design 2.
Am I right? Thank you for your patience.


Best regards!
