RE: Same results with and without PM
I believe that you need to change:

P.Contrasts(2).l.Contrail.L={'taskxLOAD^1'};

to

P.Contrasts(2).Contrail.L={'xLOAD^1'};

If you look at the current contrasts, you will notice that the contrast vectors are the same. With the above change, you should get two different contrasts.

Best,
Donald

Hello,
I want to study the effect of a PM (level of load) on PPI. The conditions are: active task, passive viewing and response. The active task has 4 levels of load. However, when I set the contrasts for active tasks with and without PM, I get exactly the same images. Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks a lot!
