Hello FSLers, 

I'm setting up a GLM that uses parametric modulation for the first time and would appreciate confirmation that I am on the right track. My task involves 3 working memory load conditions (blocked), as well as instruction blocks and a resting (blank screen) baseline.

It's my understanding that I should model three regressors:

EV1: instruction cue condition (no parametric modulation; 3rd column of input text file = 1)
EV2: working memory condition w/no parametric modulation (3rd column of input text file = 1; no discrimination between 3 WM loads and all WM events modeled together)
EV3: working memory condition w/parametric modulation; (3rd column of input text file = mean-centered WM load)

I then create the following contrast to estimate the modulation of WM on activation:
0 0 1

Is this setup is appropriate?

Many thanks in advance,
Lara
