% This function is part of the NMSM Pipeline, see file for full license.
%
% This function pulls the files from the directory given as the input
% starting with 1.sto, 2.sto and continuing to n.sto and stops when the
% file cannot be found in the directory. These files are then organized
% into a 3D matrix with dimensions matching: (numFrames, numTrials,
% numMuscles)
%
% (Array of string) -> (3D matrix of number)
% returns a 3D matrix of the loaded data trials
