As far as I know, that's not possible with the current single-threaded architecture of matlab. If matlab is busy, the UI will not respond.

With any program (not just matlab), the only way for the UI to be responsive when something is being processed, is for the processing to occur in a background thread. So, to do that in matlab you'd need the parallel processing toolbox and do your processing using worker threads. In this case, there's nothing to ctrl-c.
