    """Compute LCMV spatial filter.

    Parameters
    ----------
    info : dict
        The measurement info to specify the channels to include.
        Bad channels in info['bads'] are not used.
    forward : dict
        Forward operator.
    data_cov : Covariance
        The data covariance.
    reg : float
        The regularization for the whitened data covariance.
    noise_cov : Covariance
        The noise covariance. If provided, whitening will be done. Providing a
        noise covariance is mandatory if you mix sensor types, e.g.
        gradiometers with magnetometers or EEG with MEG.
    label : Label
        Restricts the LCMV solution to a given label.
    pick_ori : None | 'normal' | 'max-power' | 'vector'
        For forward solutions with fixed orientation, None (default) must be
        used and a scalar beamformer is computed. For free-orientation forward
        solutions, a vector beamformer is computed and:

            None
                Pools the orientations by taking the norm.
            'normal'
                Keeps only the radial component.
            'max-power'
                Selects orientations that maximize output source power at
                each location.
            'vector'
                Keeps the currents for each direction separate

    rank : int | None | 'full'
        This controls the effective rank of the covariance matrix when
        computing the inverse. The rank can be set explicitly by specifying an
        integer value. If ``None``, the rank will be automatically estimated.
        Since applying regularization will always make the covariance matrix
        full rank, the rank is estimated before regularization in this case. If
        'full', the rank will be estimated after regularization and hence
        will mean using the full rank, unless ``reg=0`` is used.
        The default in ``'full'``.
    weight_norm : 'unit-noise-gain' | 'nai' | None
        If 'unit-noise-gain', the unit-noise gain minimum variance beamformer
        will be computed (Borgiotti-Kaplan beamformer) [2]_,
        if 'nai', the Neural Activity Index [1]_ will be computed,
        if None, the unit-gain LCMV beamformer [2]_ will be computed.
    reduce_rank : bool
        If True, the rank of the leadfield will be reduced by 1 for each
        spatial location. Setting reduce_rank to True is typically necessary
        if you use a single sphere model for MEG.
    verbose : bool, str, int, or None
        If not None, override default verbose level (see :func:`mne.verbose`
        and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>` for more).

    Returns
    -------
    filters : instance of Beamformer
        Dictionary containing filter weights from LCMV beamformer.
        Contains the following keys:

            'weights' : array
                The filter weights of the beamformer.
            'data_cov' : instance of Covariance
                The data covariance matrix used to compute the beamformer.
            'noise_cov' : instance of Covariance | None
                The noise covariance matrix used to compute the beamformer.
            'whitener' : None | array
                Whitening matrix, provided if whitening was applied to the
                covariance matrix and leadfield during computation of the
                beamformer weights.
            'weight_norm' : 'unit-noise-gain'| 'nai' | None
                Type of weight normalization used to compute the filter
                weights.
            'pick_ori' : None | 'normal'
                Orientation selection used in filter computation.
            'ch_names' : list
                Channels used to compute the beamformer.
            'proj' : array
                Projections used to compute the beamformer.
            'is_ssp' : bool
                If True, projections were applied prior to filter computation.
            'vertices' : list
                Vertices for which the filter weights were computed.
            'is_free_ori' : bool
                If True, the filter was computed with free source orientation.
            'src_type' : str
                Type of source space.

    from which covariance is computed and used to create a beamformer
    spatial filter.

    .. note:: This implementation has not been heavily tested so please
              report any issues or suggestions.

    Parameters
    ----------
    epochs : Epochs
        Single trial epochs. It is recommended to pass epochs that have
        been constructed with ``preload=False`` (i.e., not preloaded or
        read from disk) so that the parameter ``raw=None`` can be used
        below, as this ensures the correct :class:`mne.io.Raw` instance is
        used for band-pass filtering.
    forward : dict
        Forward operator.
    noise_covs : list of instances of Covariance | None
        Noise covariance for each frequency bin. If provided, whitening will be
        done. Providing noise covariances is mandatory if you mix sensor types,
        e.g., gradiometers with magnetometers or EEG with MEG.
    tmin : float
        Minimum time instant to consider.
    tmax : float
        Maximum time instant to consider.
    tstep : float
        Spacing between consecutive time windows, should be smaller than or
        equal to the shortest time window length.
    win_lengths : list of float
        Time window lengths in seconds. One time window length should be
        provided for each frequency bin.
    freq_bins : list of tuples of float
        Start and end point of frequency bins of interest.
    subtract_evoked : bool
        If True, subtract the averaged evoked response prior to computing the
        tf source grid.
    reg : float
        The regularization for the whitened data covariance.
    label : Label | None
        Restricts the solution to a given label.
    pick_ori : None | 'normal'
        If 'normal', rather than pooling the orientations by taking the norm,
        only the radial component is kept.
        If None, the solution depends on the forward model: if the orientation
        is fixed, a scalar beamformer is computed. If the forward model has
        free orientation, a vector beamformer is computed, combining the output
        for all source orientations.
    n_jobs : int | str
        Number of jobs to run in parallel.
        Can be 'cuda' if ``cupy`` is installed properly.
    rank : int | None | 'full'
        This controls the effective rank of the covariance matrix when
        computing the inverse. The rank can be set explicitly by specifying an
        integer value. If ``None``, the rank will be automatically estimated.
        Since applying regularization will always make the covariance matrix
        full rank, the rank is estimated before regularization in this case. If
        'full', the rank will be estimated after regularization and hence
        will mean using the full rank, unless ``reg=0`` is used.
        The default is ``'full'``.
    weight_norm : 'unit-noise-gain' | None
        If 'unit-noise-gain', the unit-noise gain minimum variance beamformer
        will be computed (Borgiotti-Kaplan beamformer) [2]_,
        if None, the unit-gain LCMV beamformer [2]_ will be computed.
    raw : instance of Raw | None
        The raw instance used to construct the epochs.
        Must be provided unless epochs are constructed with
        ``preload=False``.
    verbose : bool, str, int, or None
        If not None, override default verbose level (see :func:`mne.verbose`
        and :ref:`Logging documentation <tut_logging>` for more).

    Returns
    -------
    stcs : list of SourceEstimate
        Source power at each time window. One SourceEstimate object is returned
        for each frequency bin.
