For example if your mat file contains function handle myfunc the syntax m myfunc attempts to index into the function handle and does not invoke the function.

The third and fourth variables topomap1 and topomap2 are both arrays containing topography data load the elevation data from the third column of each variable into a field of the structure array s for each field specify a field name that is the original variable name prefixed by elevationof.
The following matlab statements will load this data into the matrix my xy and then copy it into two vectors x and y.

The mat file object does not support evaluating function handles using the m output.
When saving a handle object matlab saves a copy of the object not a copy of the handle.
A mat extension is reserved for matlab matrix files see help load for more information.
However you can save any or all the variables in the current workspace to a mat file mat you can then reuse the workspace variables later during the current matlab session or during another session by loading the saved mat file.
Coming from the academia the annotations for the dataset was in the mat format.
