I believe the goal here is exponential mapping... reducing sensitivity of the joystick near neutral values, while maintaing a full range of output values.

Some key terms to search CD for are:

joystick mapping exponential lookup

Using all of those or some combination thereof will provide lots of discussion on this topic.

Another good place to look is in the "white papers", where you will find resources far more extensive than in any one post. This one might be helpful.
