1. A method of producing a higher quality electromyographic signal describing myoelectrical activity of an electrically active region of a subject'"'"'s muscle, comprising:

  • sensing through an array of electrodes a plurality of EMG signals representative of the myoelectrical activity of the electrically active region of the subject'"'"'s muscle;

    applying a weighting function to the detected EMG signals and thereby producing weighted signals, the electrically active region of the subject'"'"'s muscle comprising a center and the weighting function containing correction features for the relative locations of the center of the electrically active region and the electrodes; and

    combining the weighted signals and thereby producing the higher quality electromyographic signal.
