Dear Guillaume, Thanks for your help, it's very helpful! I know why I can't do any contrast in flexible factorial design, I thought I don't need to input a value for each column. Best regards, Chih-Hao ________________________________ 寄件者: Guillaume Flandin <[log in to unmask]> 寄件日期: 2017年1月11日 下午 10:39:50 收件者: 連 志浩 副本: [log in to unmask] 主旨: Re: [SPM] No contrast(s) in flexible factorial design Dear Chih-Hao, Thanks - glad to hear you have more subjects! With 18 subjects in group 1 and 8 in group 2, the contrast is: [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ones(1,18)/18 zeros(1,8)] but you'd be better off doing a one-sample t-test with the 18 images for condition 1 of subjects of group 1. Best regards, Guillaume.
