You are an expert in writing code in many different languages. Your goal is to perform code completion for the following code, keeping in mind the rest of the code and the file meta data.
    Metadata details:
    filename: edgeDetect.m
    path of file: ./repos/fieldtrip/external/npmk/Other tools
    
    the code of the file until where you have to start completion: function timestamps = edgeDetect(signal, threshold, type)

% edgeDetect
% 
% Detects rising or falling edges of a signal whenever the signal crosses
% the threshold.
%
%
% Use timestamps = edgeDetect(signal, threshold, type)
% 
% Variables fname and threshold are optional.
%
%   signal:       Name of the file to be opened. If the fname is omitted
%                 the user will be prompted to select a file. 
%
%   threshold:    The value used for threshold crossings. This function
%                 will detect when the signal crosses this value.
%                 DEFAULT: It will automatically choose the threshold at
%                 80% of the maximum value in the signal.
%
%
%   type:         Contains the points in the signal where the threshold
%                 crossing occurs.
%                 DEFAULT: It will find the rising edges.
%
%   Example 1: 
%   timestamps = edgeDetect(signal, 1000);
%
%   In the example above, the points where signal crosses value 1000 
%   (rising edge) is detected and returned in variable timestamps.
%
%   timestamps = edgeDetect(signal, 1000, 'falling');
%
%   In the example above, the points where signal crosses value 1000 
%   (falling edge) is detected and returned in variable timestamps.
