I'm not aware of anyone having done this. Apple apparently does not provide a Cocoa API to it, leaving you with informal, "tinkers" interfaces. A Stack Overflow article has some suggestions -- you would need either write some MEX glue code to interface Objective-C to MATLAB, or you may be able to use loadlibrary.
Another option would be to use this library, written Java. MATLAB has an interface to Java, so in theory this may be the easiest option.
In all cases, it looks like the options out there may not have been updated in the last handful of years, so they may or may not work with modern hardware (I'm guessing here). Also note that newish SSD drives do not have this hardware in question.
