Original Abstract Submitted

according to some embodiments, a device for sensing neuromuscular signals is provided. the device may comprise a plurality of signal electrodes aligned along an interior portion of a wearable structure, each signal electrode being configured to detect neuromuscular signals. the device may comprise a plurality of amplifiers, wherein each amplifier includes (i) a first input operatively coupled to a corresponding signal electrode, (ii) an inverting input, and (iii) an output corresponding to a neuromuscular signal channel. the device may comprise one or more buffers configured to tap a voltage at the inverting input of a respective amplifier of the plurality of amplifiers. the device may comprise circuitry configured to operatively couple a plurality of outputs of the plurality of amplifiers to generate a common mode reference signal, wherein the common mode reference signal is provided to the inverting input of one or more amplifiers of the plurality of amplifiers.
