ok. Thanks.

I ran my 3ddecon script and got the following message:

This is my 3ddecon script below:

This is not creating that 2nd regressor for each stimulus if I'm correct, and for the glt's, its only doing the ones for the average value of the modulation variable, not for the slope of the modulation variable.

This is how my stim files look like, where the first number is the onset and the second is the number of distractors:
For easy
67*15 121*15 220*15 265*15 319*15 418*15 463*15

For difficult
94*25 166*25 193*25 292*25 364*25 391*25 490*25

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot
