Problem loading mat file?

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Hi,

I have been experiencing some problems reading scalar variables from
matfile created with matlab (unknown version yet, most likely on mac
OS).
The data is from this Kaggle competition
http://www.kaggle.com/c/seizure-detection/forums/t/8256/problems-with-freq-and-latency-in-octave-3-8-1/49137#post49137

Would anybody know how to debug this issue (without matlab)?

Thanks
