I'm sorry, I made a mistake when describing the procedure, I wrote:

  The last line is wrong, object 3 should last for a period equal to stim2
duration minus the duration of object 2.

The point is:
Object1 duration = SOA (stim1 appears alone)
Object1 duration + Object2 duration = stim1 duration (it is the period in
which stim1 stays on  screen, either alone or with stim2).
Object2 duration + Object3 duration = stim2 duration (Stim2 remains on
screen along both objects).
