Hi Ekaterina,

Yes, it looks right. You may want to add the negative contrasts too, to
investigate the effect in the opposite direction for these 6 continuous
regressors, and correct across them all with "-corrcon".

All these contrasts are tested with a single design as here, so it's fine.

All the best,

Anderson
