MATLAB Interface for Syncopy Files

The functions provided here offer loading and saving routines for Syncopy data files, i.e., data arrays stored in an HDF5 file with metadata in a JSON file.

To get started, download the latest release and simply add the folder containing the +spy directory to your MATLAB path. It is not necessary to include all subfolders.

For both loading and saving there are two different routines. The "low-level" functions work with data arrays (matrices):

• spy.save_spy
• spy.load_spy

As Syncopy aims to be compatible with the MATLAB toolbox FieldTrip [1], there are also "high-level" functions that operate with Fieldtrip data structs:

• spy.ft_save_spy
• spy.ft_load_spy

The Syncopy-MATLAB interface uses and distributes external code according to their licenses (JSONlab [2], DataHash [3]). This code is distributed under the terms of the BSD-3-Clause license. See the file LICENSE for more details.
