MNE Version 2.7.x

Add the following to your Matlab startup.m file:

%---------------------- MNE --------------------------%
mnehome = getenv('MNE_ROOT');
mnematlab = sprintf('%s/share/matlab',mnehome);
if (exist(mnematlab) == 7)
    path(path,mnematlab);
end
clear mnehome mnematlab;
%-----------------------------------------------------%

If you run the MNE setup script before starting Matlab, it will automatically add the paths to the MNE tools.
