Hint: n_sessions is now purely a dummy, and can be set to 1; the only thing that matters is number of trials
Execution example for a whole range of ID:
Hint: rename script file names inside the script files, they have to be adapted, as those are using local own naming)

-
NUM_TRIALS: trials to conduct in each round
-
START_RUN_ID: starting from run id (will apply to file name run-ID)
-
NUM_ROUNDS: how many rounds to go, each round will have NUM_TRIALS trials and own incremental run id
-
"PROMPT_ID_X ..." : list of IDs pointing to corresponding entries defined in prompt.json file
-
"EXP_NAME_X ..." : list of experiment names that can be chosed freely for each corresponding prompt ID to be appended to the filename with saved data
-
