low-dimensional representation of the activation of 11 muscles during 3D motion

of the arm is defined by

 = V

T

K (11.13)

where V is an 11 × 2 matrix, whose columns are the two first eigenvectors of G in

(11.10), resulting in the size of 2 ×m for matrix . Likewise, the low-dimensional

representation of joint angles during 3D motion of the arm is defined by

 = W

T

 (11.14)

where W is a 4 × 2 matrix, whose columns are the two first eigenvectors of H in

(11.11), resulting in the size of 2 ×m for matrix .

Using the above dimension reduction technique, the high-dimensional data of

muscle activations and
