## What it does

This rule guides Cursor in writing Python code that pairs a PyQt6 desktop interface with biological signal analysis. It directs the assistant to structure modular layouts, build real-time EEG visualizers, and extract signal features.

Multithreading is a core requirement here. Processing large signal recordings inside the main GUI thread locks up PyQt6, so the prompt emphasizes background threads and asynchronous workflows. It also covers EEG metadata standards, data validation, and integrations with platforms like REDCap and Azure.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/pyqt6-eeg-processing-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/pyqt6-eeg-processing-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths

### Codex

**AGENTS.md**
- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/pyqt6-eeg-processing-cursorrules-prompt-file.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/rules/pyqt6-eeg-processing-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/pyqt6-eeg-processing-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- Move heavy EEG signal filtering into background worker threads
- Build PyQt6 interface layouts for biosignal data visualization
- Connect desktop analysis tools to REDCap and Azure storage
- Handle EEG file formats along with experimental metadata

## Example prompts
- Build a PyQt6 canvas widget to plot real-time multi-channel EEG data
- Create a worker thread to extract spectral features from raw EEG recordings
- Implement a data exporter that sends analyzed trial markers to REDCap
