title: Can I load MATLAB mat file in Ruby?
body: <p>In Python I can use <code>scipy.io.loadmat</code> (<a href="http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.io.loadmat.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.io.loadmat.html</a>) to load/import MATLAB mat files,<br>
  Looks like <code>SciRuby</code> (<a href="http://sciruby.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sciruby.com/</a>) does not have a similar facility.<br>
  Is there any other ruby library or any other way, to load/import mat files in Ruby? </p>
