1. A method of adjusting sensing in a medical device, comprising:
- determining light emitted by a plurality of light sources at a plurality of wavelengths received at a detector;
determining a plurality of light measurements in response to the emitted light detected by the detector;
updating, for each of the plurality of wavelengths, a first normalization coefficient and a second normalization coefficient in response to the detected emitted light,wherein the first normalization coefficient corresponds to peak-to-peak changes in the plurality of light measurements and the second normalization coefficient corresponds to average amplitudes of the plurality of light measurements; and
adjusting the determined plurality of light measurements in response to the first normalization coefficient and the second normalization coefficient,the method further comprising;
determining a first baseline associated with the first normalization coefficient and a second baseline associated with the second normalization coefficient;
updating the first normalization coefficient by calculating a ratio of the first baseline and an average of the peak-to-peak changes in the plurality of light measurements; and
updating the second normalization coefficient by calculating a difference between a second baseline and a product of the previously updated first normalization coefficient and a current average amplitude.

Abstract
A medical device for sensing cardiac events that includes a plurality of light sources capable of emitting light at a plurality of wavelengths, and a detector to detect the emitted light. A processor determines a plurality of light measurements in response to the emitted light detected by the detector, updates, for each of the plurality of wavelengths, a first normalization coefficient and a second normalization coefficient in response to the detected emitted light, and adjusts the determined plurality of light measurements in response to the first normalization coefficient and the second normalization coefficient.
