Hi Yune
If I've counted correctly, you have 15 conditions + 6 movement
parameters (21 total) per session. So can you check that the
contrasts you specify have the appropriate number of columns? I.e.
they should have 168 (8 sessions * 21 columns) + 8 (for the session
effects) = 176 columns each. If so, can you respond with the exact
contrast you've entered?
