Dear Chih-Hao, This is to be expected for a model that includes subject effects. The corresponding estimable contrast is [1 0 0 0 0 0 1/3 1/3 1/3 0 0 0] but you are essentially trying to do a one-sample t-test with three subjects so you should acquire data from more subjects before running a second level model. Best regards, Guillaume.
