+Files in the 'wp3-exps-1-2.zip' archive contain materials for two experiments as part of WP3 in the C02 project (SFB 1287).
+
+Files are stored using the directory structure
+
+<experiment>/<study>/<materials>/
+
+with subdirectories:
+
+<experiment>	: [exp1, exp2]
+<study>		: [prestudy, study]
+<materials> 	: [onexp, opensesame, stimuli]
+
+In the 'onexp' directories are the zip files used to upload the experiments to the OnExp platform.
+
+In the 'opensesame' directories are the files used to run the experiments with OpenSesame in the lab.
