SciPy

Read and Import Data

Matlab Files

We can read files from matlab using the scipy.io.loadmat() function as shown below

import scipy.io

matlab_data = scipy.io.loadmat('filepath.mat')

This would create a dictionary object called matlab_data that would contain key value pairs for all the different kinds of objects that have been imported from the matlab file.

It is interesting to note here that Matlab files are usually permanently stored work environments of Matlab so multiple objects should be expected while importing a single matlab file.
