1. A method for correcting light shunting, comprising:

  • emitting light at three or more wavelengths from at least one emitter of a sensor into a patient'"'"'s tissue, wherein the three or more wavelengths includes a first wavelength that is not used to determine a physiological characteristic of the patient;

    detecting the light with at least one detector of the sensor;

    comparing the intensity of the detected light at the first wavelength to a threshold; and

    determining the amount of light shunting between the at least one emitter and the at least one detector based on the comparison.
