[Mne_analysis] Noise > 50 Hz in IC's, despite filtering

You should try changing the `h_trans_bandwidth` to be narrower, by default
it will use 0.25 times the `h_freq` so in this case 12.5 Hz, which means
that 60 Hz is in the transition band rather than the stop-band. See (though
there is a bug in the table; the values under `h_trans_bandwidth` for 45
and 48 Hz should be 11.25 and 12, respectively):

http://mne-tools.github.io/dev/auto_tutorials/discussions/plot_background_filtering.html#defaults-in-mne-python

You could also use fir_window='blackman', which will give you a longer
filter but also better stop-band attenuation. In 0.18 doing
`mne.filter.create_filter(..., verbose=True)` will give you useful
information about the filter you are using.
