Hi,

Maybe that example was too tiny to be useful. The file contains a matrix.
Each row of this matrix is a t-contrast.

The /NumWaves is the number of columns in this matrix (which corresponds to
the number of EVs in the design matrix), and /NumPoints is the number of
rows (which corresponds to the number of t-contrasts).

If you want a single contrast as [1 -1], that is, comparing the regression
coefficients for EV1 with EV2, the contrast file would be:

/NumWaves 2
/NumPoints 1

/Matrix
1 -1

All the best,

Anderson
