Dear Lisbeth,

there should be no problem to use your data preprocessed with SPM8 in
SPM12 for statistical analysis but I agree it might be simpler to
describe in a paper if you used a single version of the software.

When loading (or running) an SPM8 batch in SPM12, it will be
automatically upgraded (using config/spm_rewrite_job.m) to take into
account the changes that took place between the two versions (as
described in man/ReleaseNotes.pdf). That said, it will not update
automatically the paths to the tissue probability maps used in Segment
so you might find it simpler to respecify your batch scripts in SPM12.

Best regards,
Guillaume.
