Assuming you really mean " more than 3 standard deviations away from the mean"...
% Get the mean and standard deviation of the vector
theMean = mean(yourVector);
stdDev = std(yourVector);
% Get a logical vector of the locations where the value is more than 3 sd away from the mean.
locationsAwayFromMean = abs(yourVector - theMean) > stdDev;
% Extract only those elements
outlierValues = yourVector(locationsAwayFromMean);

May I please ask how exactly is the 3*standard deviations calculated?
Based on my interpretation of Image Analyst's solution, I only see 1 standard deviation being calculated. I would really appreciate clarification.
Shouldn't it be
locationsAwayFromMean = abs(yourVector - theMean) > 3*stdDev?
