[FieldTrip] MNE fiff_read / write_raw_segment

[Peter Goodin]

Hi Alex, 

Thanks for letting me know! I'll try changing the precision and see how it goes! 

Peter

what is likely to happen is that the matlab code writes data as double precision
while the original neuromag data were in float 16. Note that a single fif file
cannot exceed 2Go due to internal pointer arithmetic otherwise it will
be broken.
What you can do is hack the fif writing to make sure it's written back
in float16.

Best,
Alex
