[Eeglablist] import BDF file data one channel at a time

[Jeff Johnson]

There are scripts on the Biosemi website that allow you to read a .BDF into 
a MATLAB array.  I think sload.m is the one you want, and it'll let you 
select any number of channels.  Then you can just read the array into EEGLAB.
