It was discovered recently that sparse decomposition by signal dictionaries results in dramatic improvement of the qualities of blind source separation. We exploit sparse decomposition of a source in order to extract it from multidimensional sensor data, in applications where a rough template of the source is known. This leads to a convex optimization problem, which is solved by a Newton-type method. Complete and overcomplete dictionaries are considered. Simulations with synthetic evoked responses mixed into natural 122-channel MEG data show signi
