1. A method for communicating beat parameters to a user at a user interface of an electronic device associated with the user, the method comprising:

  • providing, by way of a garment worn by the user, an electrode module coupled to a body region located inferior to a L1 lumbar vertebrae region of the user, wherein the electrode module comprises a first electrode pair, associated with a first sensor channel, and a second electrode pair, associated with a second sensor channel, and wherein a first vector between electrodes of the first electrode pair and a second vector between electrodes of the second electrode pair are substantially crossed;

    receiving, at a processing subsystem in communication with the electrode module,

         1) a first dataset based on a first set of bioelectrical signals detected from the first sensor channel, and

         2) a second dataset based on a second set of bioelectrical signals detected from the second sensor channel, wherein the first dataset and the second dataset comprise a local noise component and a heart signal component;

    receiving, at the processing subsystem, an electromyography (EMG) dataset based on a set of EMG signals detected from an EMG sensor module of the garment interfacing with the user;

    generating a noise-mitigated power spectrum upon;

    generating a combined dataset based upon non-linearly combining the first and second datasets, wherein the combined dataset comprises a dampened local noise component and an accentuated heart signal component;

    calculating

         1) a heart power spectrum based on the combined data set, and

         2) a combined EMG power spectrum based on combining a plurality of EMG power spectra calculated from the EMG dataset;

    generating a noise-mitigated power spectrum based on processing the heart power spectrum with the combined EMG power spectrum;

    generating a beat parameter analysis based upon the noise-mitigated power spectrum; and

    rendering information derived from the beat parameter analysis to the user at the user interface.
