How to replace some values in a matrix?

I have x=16 * 16 matrix of double values. i need to figure out consecutive values of 'x' which are less than 150 and replace them with the original value plus(+) 8.

Just use a logical index:

>> x = randi(200,16,16);
>> idx = x<150;
>> x(idx) = x(idx)+8;

Very basic MATLAB operations, such as logical indices, as introduced in the Getting Started tutorials, which are highly recommended for all beginners:

Dear Stephen Cobeldick, your code is woking, but,it is not working for the consecutive values.i mean to say is, suppose two consecutive values are 180 and 56, then it should skip both. But according to your code it makes 56+8=64.

@aditya sahu: please explain the requirements with some example input and output data, because it is not clear to me what exactly you want. Why is 56 ignored, even though it is less than 150?

How are you defining consecutive? MATLAB goes row by row (down rows), then over to the next column and down its rows. Is that your definition? If so, then is the last element in column 2 consecutive with the first element in column 3?
