+## Issue 2: Notch Filter Support in DSP Pipeline
+
+### The Problem
+
+User tried to use:
+
+```typescript
+const dsp = createDspPipeline().filter({ type: "notch" });
+```
+
+This doesn't work for two reasons:
+
+1. **"notch" is a MODE, not a TYPE**
+2. **Filter stages in the pipeline are not yet implemented**
+
+### Understanding the API
+
+#### Filter Types vs. Filter Modes
+
+**Filter Types** (implementation/topology):
+
+- `"fir"` - Finite Impulse Response
+- `"iir"` - Infinite Impulse Response
+- `"butterworth"` - Butterworth IIR
+- `"chebyshev"` - Chebyshev IIR
+- `"biquad"` - Biquad (2nd-order IIR sections)
+
+**Filter Modes** (frequency response):
+
+- `"lowpass"` - Pass low frequencies
+- `"highpass"` - Pass high frequencies
+- `"bandpass"` - Pass frequencies in a band
+- `"bandstop"` or `"notch"` - Reject frequencies in a band (same thing!)
+
+### Correct Usage for Notch Filters
+
+#### Option 1: FIR Notch Filter (Recommended)
+
+```typescript
+import { FirFilter } from "./filters.js";
+
+const notchFilter = FirFilter.createBandStop({
+  lowCutoffFrequency: 58, // Lower edge of notch
+  highCutoffFrequency: 62, // Upper edge of notch
+  sampleRate: 1000,
+  order: 101,
+  windowType: "hamming",
+});
+
+// Process signal
+const filtered = await notchFilter.process(signal);
+```
+
+#### Option 2: IIR Notch Filter (Butterworth)
+
+```typescript
+import { IirFilter } from "./filters.js";
+
+// Note: Butterworth doesn't have band-stop yet
+// You would need to use cascaded high-pass and low-pass
+// or wait for dedicated notch filter implementation
+```
+
+#### Option 3: Using the Generic API (When Pipeline Supports Filters)
+
+```typescript
+// This will work in the future when pipeline filter support is added:
+const dsp = createDspPipeline().filter({
+  type: "fir", // ← TYPE: FIR or IIR
+  mode: "bandstop", // ← MODE: bandstop or notch (same thing)
+  lowCutoffFrequency: 58,
+  highCutoffFrequency: 62,
+  sampleRate: 1000,
+  order: 51,
+});
+```
+
+### Current Limitation
+
+The `filter()` method in `DspProcessor` currently throws an error:
+
+```
+Filter stages in pipeline not yet implemented in C++ layer.
+Use standalone filters with manual chaining instead.
+```
+
+**Why?** Filter stages need to be integrated into the native C++ pipeline. Currently only these stages work:
+
+- ✅ MovingAverage
+- ✅ Rectify
+- ✅ RMS
+- ✅ Variance
+- ✅ ZScoreNormalize
+- ✅ MeanAbsoluteValue
+- ✅ WaveformLength
+- ✅ SlopeSignChange
+- ✅ WillisonAmplitude
+
+### Workaround: Manual Chaining
+
+Until pipeline filter support is added, use standalone filters:
+
+```typescript
+import { createDspPipeline } from "./bindings.js";
+import { FirFilter } from "./filters.js";
+
+// Create pipeline for other operations
+const dsp = createDspPipeline()
+  .MovingAverage({ mode: "moving", windowSize: 10 })
+  .Rectify({ mode: "full" });
+
+// Create standalone notch filter
+const notchFilter = FirFilter.createBandStop({
+  lowCutoffFrequency: 58,
+  highCutoffFrequency: 62,
+  sampleRate: 1000,
+  order: 51,
+});
+
+// Manual chaining
+const samples = new Float32Array([...data]);
+const pipelineOutput = await dsp.process(samples);
+const finalOutput = await notchFilter.process(pipelineOutput);
+```
+

+### Short Term
+
+- [ ] Implement filter stage support in C++ DspPipeline
+- [ ] Add band-stop mode to Butterworth and Chebyshev IIR filters
+- [ ] Add dedicated IIR notch filter design (more efficient than band-stop)
+

+
+## Testing Instructions
+
+### Run Advanced DSP Tests Only
+
+```bash
+npm test -- AdvancedDsp
+```
+
+### Run All Tests
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+### Run Notch Filter Examples
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+node src/ts/examples/notch-filter-examples.js
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Quick Reference
+
+### Create Notch Filter (CORRECT ✅)
+
+```typescript
+import { FirFilter } from "./filters.js";
+
+const notch = FirFilter.createBandStop({
+  lowCutoffFrequency: 58,
+  highCutoffFrequency: 62,
+  sampleRate: 1000,
+  order: 51,
+});
+```
+
+### Common Mistake (WRONG ❌)
+
+```typescript
+// This doesn't work - "notch" is not a type!
+const dsp = createDspPipeline().filter({type: "notch", ...})
+```
+
+### Correct Pipeline Usage (When Implemented)
+
+```typescript
+const dsp = createDspPipeline().filter({
+  type: "fir", // TYPE
+  mode: "bandstop", // MODE (or "notch")
+  lowCutoffFrequency: 58,
+  highCutoffFrequency: 62,
+  sampleRate: 1000,
+  order: 51,
+});
+```
