Hi Navot, This looks generally fine, although the labels don't seem to match what the contrasts represent (e.g., for PewP-PewH and NewP-NewH, you'd want to reverse the signs, possibly the same for others). The group-level design matrix can be a 1-sample t-test for each of these 13 contrasts. For the F-test, only if you want a single test encompassing various of these, that is also two-tailed. I'd say it isn't necessary.
