JATOS is a system for managing online experiments. It allows you to create accounts for experimenters, upload experiments, and generate links that you can distribute to participants.

There is not a single JATOS server. Rather, different organizations and people have installed JATOS onto their own servers.
For testing purposes:
- You can use the JATOS test server (%FigJatos1). The JATOS test server is reset every night, so you cannot use it for data collection!
For data collection:
- You can set up your own JATOS server, or use a JATOS server that is provided by your institution
- Or you can also make use of https://mindprobe.eu/, a free JATOS server sponsored by ESCoP and OpenSesame.
