Compute source power using DICS beamfomer

Compute a Dynamic Imaging of Coherent Sources (DICS) filter from single trial activity to estimate source power for two frequencies of interest.

The original reference for DICS is: Gross et al. Dynamic imaging of coherent sources: Studying neural interactions in the human brain. PNAS (2001) vol. 98 (2) pp. 694-699
