Dear Norbert,
We will probably not support reading images or results of source
reconstructions from other packages into SPM. You need to find a way
to save your LORETA reconstructions as NIfTI or analyze images (I'm
quite sure this should be possible, perhaps via some intermediate
converter) and then you can proceed with SPM analysis as usual. In the
future we might support a new standard called GIFTI which is for
representing meshes and can for instance store results of source
reconstruction on a cortical mesh rather than 3D volume. There is
already code for handling GIFTI in SPM8, but it is not yet used by SPM
functions and also since the standard is quite new, I doubt there is
an easy way to convert Curry files to it.
SPM8 does support reading in Neuroscan files, definitely cnt and I'm
quite sure avg as well. We don't have much experience with it
ourselves though and we'd be grateful for your feedback.
So in summary you have two choices if you want to use SPM8 beta.
1) You convert your EEG data to SPM (which should be quite
straightforward now and is described in details in the new manual) and
then do the source anaysis in SPM as well.
2) You find a way to make image files that SPM can read and then go
through standard SPM stream for images.
Best,
Vladimir
