Abstract
The determination of the sources of electric activity inside the brain from electric measurements on the surface of the head is known to be an ill-posed problem. In this paper a new algorithm which takes temporal a-priori information into account is described and compared to existing algorithms as Tikhonov-Phillips. There are further applications in medical and technical fields as the determination of electrical sources in the living heart and the determination of acoustic sources.
