Background:

The L0 norm is effective for sparse solutions in electroencephalography (EEG) inverse problems.
Its discontinuous and non-differentiable nature makes direct optimization challenging.
Existing methods often use approximations like the L1 norm.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a continuous and differentiable approximation for the L0 norm in EEG inverse problems.
To evaluate this new approximation against established methods like L1 norm and LORETA.
To assess the performance for estimating sparse EEG source distributions.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel continuous and differentiable function to approximate the L0 norm.
Modeled the function based on the Butterworth low-pass filter transfer function.
Compared the new method with L1 norm and LORETA using a realistic head model and simulated sources.

Main Results:

The proposed L0 norm approximation demonstrated promising results.
Preliminary comparisons indicate effectiveness in estimating sparse EEG sources.
The new approach offers a viable alternative to existing L0 norm approximations.

Conclusions:

The Butterworth filter-inspired L0 norm approximation is a promising technique for EEG inverse problems.
This method facilitates the estimation of sparse neural sources.
Further research is warranted to fully explore its potential in source localization.
