Description

Describe the new feature or enhancement

Hi, a while ago I implemented the the subspace pursuit algorithm for sparse source localisation described here:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1053811913009440

I wonder if there is interest in adding it to the already existing suite of tools for sparse source localisation?

Describe your proposed implementation

The branch is found here, if memory serves me correctly I followed the paper pretty closely:
https://github.com/jshanna100/mne-python/tree/greedy

Describe possible alternatives

The authors of the paper do state that their code is available on request, but I never had any luck getting it from them, which is why I did my own implementation.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Subspace Pursuit paper and reviewing the proposed implementation on the greedy branch. Compare it with MNE-Python’s existing sparse source localisation tools, then clarify with maintainers which integration point and validation criteria are expected before proceeding.
