Week 8, home stretch here I come!
So, this week was off to an excellent start, I started by reinstalling MATLAB after my computer stopped working, and then realized that I needed to get some work done on the paper end, by looking through some papers of social stigmas. This week literally sped by fast and was a whirlwind of information that I am still recovering from.
After reinstalling MATLAB, I decided to take a look at the data I got. The only problem was that there was some uncertainty in the data that I had obtained. I needed to go through the notepad files and then export them to excel, which was a simple by very time-consuming activity. After doing that, I renamed all of the files by the trial number and the object that I was interacting with. Basically each of these files had the x,y,and z values for the motion sensors attached to the thumb, index,middle, and ring fingers, the pinky, and one on the palm. I had this data for the movement that my hand and the prosthetic did when grasping the object. I organized and sorted all of my data out into excel files and made sure I had everything I needed.But the thing is that all of these time-consuming tasks are really hard. I may just give up. On second thought, this is probably my last post for this project since I am quitting. See Ya!

APRIL FOOL'S!
Yeah, no I am not quitting, just felt like including that in for the sake of mentioning that it is already April!
So back to what I was saying, with the data, I am going to be running it through MATLAB with a function to interpolate it. Essentially, what I will be doing is use a function to plot the data, and fill in any gaps with logical data given the other data. After I interpolate the data, I will begin with the next part of the analysis! If you guys need a better explanation, just ask away in the comments below. See you all next week!
