Hi Ronny,

Can you check whether this page answers your question? It provides a
theoretical background, and a couple of examples:

Best,

> I should create a dummy variable with equal size to powspctrm and fill
> them with my behavioural value (eg 'distress' lets call it D which is
> essentially D*ones(15,2047)).
> I have created a design matrix as follow :
