In data processing workflow converting .csv files to .mat files in MATLAB is a practical step for several key reasons.🔧 Why Convert CSV to MAT in MATLAB?
  • .mat files load much faster than .csv files.
  • .csv reading (readtable, csvread, etc.) parses text row by row, while .mat is binary and directly read by MATLAB’s engine.
  • Many MATLAB toolboxes (Signal Processing, Machine Learning, Mapping) expect .mat format or structured arrays.
  • Also avoids re-reading/converting each time.
