Dear Sophie, You have two within-subjects factors with two levels each here so I would recommend to compute a contrast image for each main effect and interaction for each subject and enter these in a one-sample t-test at the second level, ie at first level, compute: main effect of drug: [1 1 -1 -1] main effect of cardiac: [1 -1 1 -1] drug x cardiac interaction: [1 -1 -1 1] Best regards, Guillaume.
