低强度经颅电刺激（tES），包括交流或直流电刺激（tACS或tDCS），应用微弱的电刺激来调节脑回路的活动。tES与同步功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）的整合允许在神经调节期间映射神经活动，支持脑功能和tES效应的因果关系研究。tES-fMRI研究的方法学方面的结果的基础，并报告他们在适当的细节是需要的再现性和可解释性。尽管发表的报告越来越多，有没有共识为基础的检查表披露同步tES-fMRI研究的方法学细节。为同时进行的tES-fMRI研究制定一个基于共识的报告标准清单，以支持方法的严谨性、透明度和可重复性（孔特斯清单）。一个两阶段的德尔菲共识过程进行了指导委员会（SC）的13名成员和49名专家小组成员（EP）通过国际网络的tES-fMRI（INTF）财团。该过程开始于分发基本项目和附加建议的初步清单，该清单由SC基于对57项同时进行的tES-fMRI研究的系统性综述而制定。然后请各参与方对初始清单提出修订或补充建议。在修订阶段之后，参与者对最终清单中的17个基本项目和42个附加建议的重要性进行了评级。然后使用检查表评估57项同时进行的tES-fMRI研究的方法透明度。专家们通过修订和评级阶段对清单进行了改进，从而形成了一份包含三类基本项目和补充建议的清单：（1）技术因素;（2）安全和噪音测试;（3）方法因素。在57篇同时发表的tES-fMRI论文中，检查表项目的报告水平从24%到76%不等。平均而言，53%的检查表项目在给定的文章中报告。孔特斯检查表的使用有望提高未来同步tES-fMRI研究的方法学报告质量，并增加方法学的透明度和可重复性。
Low intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), including alternating or direct current stimulation (tACS or tDCS), applies weak electrical stimulation to modulate the activity of brain circuits. Integration of tES with concurrent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows for the mapping of neural activity during neuromodulation, supporting causal studies of both brain function and tES effects. Methodological aspects of tES-fMRI studies underpin the results, and reporting them in appropriate detail is required for reproducibility and interpretability. Despite the growing number of published reports, there are no consensus-based checklists for disclosing methodological details of concurrent tES-fMRI studies. To develop a consensus-based checklist of reporting standards for concurrent tES-fMRI studies to support methodological rigor, transparency, and reproducibility (ContES Checklist). A two-phase Delphi consensus process was conducted by a steering committee (SC) of 13 members and 49 expert panelists (EP) through the International Network of the tES-fMRI (INTF) Consortium. The process began with a circulation of a preliminary checklist of essential items and additional recommendations, developed by the SC based on a systematic review of 57 concurrent tES-fMRI studies. Contributors were then invited to suggest revisions or additions to the initial checklist. After the revision phase, contributors rated the importance of the 17 essential items and 42 additional recommendations in the final checklist. The state of methodological transparency within the 57 reviewed concurrent tES-fMRI studies was then assessed using the checklist. Experts refined the checklist through the revision and rating phases, leading to a checklist with three categories of essential items and additional recommendations: (1) technological factors, (2) safety and noise tests, and (3) methodological factors. The level of reporting of checklist items varied among the 57 concurrent tES-fMRI papers, ranging from 24% to 76%. On average, 53% of checklist items were reported in a given article. Use of the ContES checklist is expected to enhance the methodological reporting quality of future concurrent tES-fMRI studies, and increase methodological transparency and reproducibility.
