# Stimuli phases

A stimuli phase allows you to manipulate your chosen elements to your own specification — e.g. adding loops, timings, intervals, etc. 

#### How do I add elements to a stimuli phase?

To add an element to a stimuli phase, click on the + button on the stimuli phase screen. When you click on the + button, a drop-down list will appear where you can choose one of the following elements to add to the phase:

* **Text** — Type and edit text that you want to include in the phase. You can also embed a URL or images in the text element.
