Hello Anders,

Sorry that I just noticed your question(s). Similar to Binder et al. 2011, the 
primary contrast of interest for the LANGUAGE task is the contrast of 
STORY-MATH. I would be cautious evaluating the contrast of either “block" 
versus baseline (e.g., MATH vs. baseline). Because the task was not designed to 
have a specific resting baseline condition, the baseline is difficult to 
interpret. However, the contrast between the two conditions is valid and 
interpretable.

The other EV files (e.g., present_story.txt) break down the epochs into their 
main components. But if you look at the timing information in the EV files, 
you’ll see that the “present” epoch is almost the entire duration of the full 
epoch.

--Greg
