## How Do I
Stop or Pause An Experiment

Press the Esc (escape) key.

SuperLab will prompt you to confirm that you really want to stop the experiment. This confirmation prompt is provided to give an experimenter a chance to pause (rather than stop) an experiment, e.g. in order to give the participant a break or to adjust electrodes during an ERP experiment.

If you decide to resume running the experiment when prompted, SuperLab will present again the trial that was in progress when Esc was pressed.

When stopping a running experiment, SuperLab will save to disk all the data that was collected up to the point when you canceled.
