A device for correcting a sensor signal, includes a sensor interface, a signal processing unit, a feedback unit, and a signal correction unit. The sensor interface is configured to read in a sensor signal which represents a physical variable. The signal processing unit is configured to determine a processing signal by using the sensor signal. The feedback unit is configured to output a feedback signal to the sensor and to provide the feedback signal on the basis of a nonlinear processing rule and the processing signal. The signal correction unit is configured to determine a corrected signal by using the processing signal, and to determine the corrected signal by using the nonlinear processing rule or a processing rule derived from the nonlinear processing rule.
