Assem,

 From the matlab file format description, the "Endian Indicator":

"Contains the two characters, M and I, written to the
MAT-file in this order, as a 16-bit value. If, when read
from the MAT-file as a 16-bit value, the characters appear
in reversed order (IM rather than MI), it indicates that the
program reading the MAT-file must perform
byte-swapping to interpret the data in the MAT-file
correctly."
