功能近红外光谱（fNIRS）方法和分析工具的扩展引起了研究人员必须做出的各种设计和分析决策。最近的一些努力已经制定了预处理，分析和报告实践的指导方针。对于fNIRS研究的规划阶段，类似的指导是可取的。研究预登记有助于研究人员在进行研究之前透明地记录研究方案，包括材料、方法和分析，从而帮助其他人验证、理解和重现研究。因此，预注册可以作为透明，仔细和全面的fNIRS研究设计的有用工具。我们的目标是创建fNIRS研究中涉及的设计和分析步骤的指南，并提供fNIRS研究指定的预注册模板。所提供的预注册指南重点关注fNIRS的具体要求，相关模板提供了基于在人体中进行的连续波（CW）fNIRS研究的示例。然而，这些可以扩展到其他类型的fNIRS研究。在一步一步的基础上，我们引导fNIRS用户通过关键的方法和分析相关的方面，中央一个全面的fNIRS研究设计。这些包括特定于CW设计的项目，基于任务的fNIRS研究，但也包括具有普遍重要性的部分，包括对样本量规划的深入阐述。我们的指南向fNIRS社区介绍了这些开放科学工具，为研究人员提供了全面研究规划的关键设计方面和规范建议的概述。因此，它可用作预注册fNIRS研究的模板，或仅用作透明fNIRS研究设计的工具。
The expansion of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) methodology and analysis tools gives rise to various design and analytical decisions that researchers have to make. Several recent efforts have developed guidelines for preprocessing, analyzing, and reporting practices. For the planning stage of fNIRS studies, similar guidance is desirable. Study preregistration helps researchers to transparently document study protocols before conducting the study, including materials, methods, and analyses, and thus, others to verify, understand, and reproduce a study. Preregistration can thus serve as a useful tool for transparent, careful, and comprehensive fNIRS study design. We aim to create a guide on the design and analysis steps involved in fNIRS studies and to provide a preregistration template specified for fNIRS studies. The presented preregistration guide has a strong focus on fNIRS specific requirements, and the associated template provides examples based on continuous-wave (CW) fNIRS studies conducted in humans. These can, however, be extended to other types of fNIRS studies. On a step-by-step basis, we walk the fNIRS user through key methodological and analysis-related aspects central to a comprehensive fNIRS study design. These include items specific to the design of CW, task-based fNIRS studies, but also sections that are of general importance, including an in-depth elaboration on sample size planning. Our guide introduces these open science tools to the fNIRS community, providing researchers with an overview of key design aspects and specification recommendations for comprehensive study planning. As such it can be used as a template to preregister fNIRS studies or merely as a tool for transparent fNIRS study design.
