% create mitbih datasets: download all records and convert the records into .info,.mat and .txt(for annotations)

% before doing it, you have to install the open-source WFDB Software Package available at

% http://physionet.org/physiotools/wfdb.shtml 

% download the whole database but files have .dat and .atr extentions

% rc=physionetdb('mitdb',1); 

% input

% output .info, .hea, .mat and.txt files 

record_list = physionetdb('mitdb');
