I'm trying to set my xTicklabels:
set(gca, 'xtick',1:8,'XTickLabels',compose('diffNA2l','diffNA2h','diffA2l','diffA2h','allNA2h','allNA2l','allA2l','allA2h'))
it is giving me
Error using compose (line 98)
Format must have enough conversion operators for the data arguments.
Why?

You don't need compose because you aren't formatting numeric values into the labels. Just specifiy your labels in a cell array:
bar(1:8, rand(1,8));
labels = {'diffNA2l','diffNA2h','diffA2l','diffA2h','allNA2h','allNA2l','allA2l','allA2h'};
set(gca, 'xtick', 1:8, 'XTickLabels', labels);

Or you could use the separate functions made for dealing with tick marks (R2016b and later):
xticks()
xticklabels()
