The contrasts are going to be created automatically. These will be:
fund - stands for "fundamental" - this is the F-test of the sine and 
cosine components, probably what you want
fund-sin -- t-test of the sine component (this may also be useful)
fund-cos -- t-test of the cosine component (think of this like the 
derivative when you assume a shape)
harm -- F test on the harmonics (probably not too useful)

It is going to assume that the first condition is ON. This does not 
matter for the F-tests above, but will affect the sign of the sine 
component.
