(Toolbox/load_brainstorm_file.m in BrainStorm 2.0 (Alpha))

Function Synopsis

load_result = load_brainstorm_file(Filename);

Help Text

LOAD_BRAINSTORM_FILE - load or try to find and load the BrainStorm file.
 function load_result = load_brainstorm_file(Filename);
 If the Filename does not exist, break into parts and try to find it in the structure
 Returns the result identical to Matlab load command: load_result = load(Filename);
