the steeper is the roll-off and the higher is the filter order (length).
Very low cutoff frequencies as low as 0.01 Hz as sometimes found in the
literature require extremely long filters (FIR) or are prone to
instability (IIR). To our experience a lower limit of about 0.1 Hz is
recommendable for FIR filters. For lower cutoff frequencies consider IIR
filters combined with a reduced sampling frequency of the signal.
instability (IIR). The computation time for very long FIR filters becomes
enormous. You can try the 'usefftfilt' option in "Basic FIR Filter (new,
default)" (pop_eegfiltnew) or "Windowed sinc FIR Filter" (pop_firws) to speed
up filtering for FIR filter orders higher than 2000 to 3000. Note that
lowering the sampling rate also reduces the required filter orders. If you
are experiencing stability problems with IIR filters with lower cutoff
frequencies, also consider reducing the sampling frequency of the signal.

### Q. What is the recommended transition bandwidth (for a windowed sinc FIR high-pass filter)?
