[Freesurfer] mkcontrast-sess question

Dear Freesurfer experts

Hi

I have a question about weighting different contrasts using mkcontrast-sess commmand. I have single subject functional data with 18 different contrasts, and I am willing to weight the different contrasts as (for example) ascending linear. Something like: mkcontrast-sess -an $analysis -a 1 -a 2 -a 3 -a 4 -a 10 -a 11 -a 12 -a 13 -a 6 -a 7 -a 8 -a 9 -a 15 -a 16 -a 17 -a 18 In which contrast number two weights twice as contrast number one and contrast number 3 weights twice as contrast number 2 and so on. Is there any way I can do such a thing with mkcontrast-sess? or do you have any suggestion for such an analysis?

Thanks Mona
