In an idle moment I looked at the matlab documentation for a bit, 
especially the external interface.
I realized that matlab can use external Java classes. If this really 
works (I have no time now to test
this) then you may use the existing NeXus-Java binding. It will require 
some conversion from matlab
to Java arrays but I would not be surprised if a utility function for 
doing this exists somewhere.
A conversion would anyway be required as NeXus uses C-storage order 
whereas matlab uses
Fortran storage order.

Best Regards,
