Experiments are designed in Dallinger by creating a custom subclass of the base Experiment class. The code for the Experiment class is in experiments.py. Unlike the :doc:`other classes <classes>`, each experiment involves only a single Experiment object and it is not stored as an entry in a corresponding table, rather each Experiment is a set of instructions that tell the server what to do with the database when the server receives requests from outside.
