Confidentiality/protection of data

[Jonathan Kwok]

Hi,

I am a research assistant who wants to use E-Prime to use the attention network test (https://www.sacklerinstitute.org/cornell/assays_and_tools/ant/jin.fan/) in a study. Does  the data have to travel through any servers or is the program is completely localized to the computer it is run from?

Thank you,

Jonathan

It lives on your local machine if you are running via EPrime.

Jonathan,

Hmm, is this what other people call a Flanker Task? But on to your question...

Whether or not your data travel through any servers all depends on
you. By default, E-Prime saves data to the same folder as your
experiment program (.ebs/.ebs2 file). So if you run the program from
a local drive, then by default your data get stored to that local
drive, and if you run your program from a networked drive on a server
(a bad idea for many reasons), then by default your data get stored
to that networked drive.

Then E-Prime also has mechanisms that allow you to store data to a
location that you specify. Using that, you could run your experiment
program from any local or networked drive, and have the data stored
to any other local or networked drive.

So again, whether or not your data travel through any servers is up
to you. But as Sean already said, under any ordinary circumstances
everything just stays on your local machine. But don't take our word
for that, please ask PST Support yourself, and let us know what they say.

Jonathan,

Ah, perhaps you did not mean your question generally, but instead
specifically about the E-Prime "ANT" downloadable from that site. In
that case, it all depends on how they programmed their ANT. I very
highly doubt that they programmed that to send data through a server,
but to really know you would have to contact them directly, and/or
download the program and look at it and test it yourself.

Best,
