# Loops

Phases can be 'looped' so that the same set of elements are shown to a participant multiple times during an experiment. 

You can set loops to play:

* for the duration of a phase; or
* a set number of times during a phase. 

When you set a number of loops to play during a phase, the whole loop will finish before the phase finishes. 

To loop elements in a stimuli phase, click on the **Settings** button, then select **Loops**.
