You are looking to design, review or even preregister an #fNIRS study? Our newest article "Using #preregistration as a tool for transparent fNIRS study design" may be just the right place to start! #OpenScience @SfNIRS
Preprint: osf.io/preprints/meta…

A short 🧵👇 ...

On a step-by-step basis, we take the reader through all important aspects of study design – including the specification of hypotheses, sampling plan, analysis plan, and preprocessing pipeline – and thus provide guidance in planning a state-of-the-art fNIRS study. 2/7

To support researchers, we developed the "Preregistration for fNIRS Research (PRE-fNIRS) Template", adapting the established PRP-QUANT towards fNIRS research-specific needs and adding examples for fNIRS-specific items. 3/7

This work was completed within < 1 year and purely remotely by our incredible team: Philipp Schroeder @dr_schr, Christina Artemenko @ChrisArtemenko , Jessica Kosie @JessKosie, @HelenaCockx, @katharina_stute, Joao Pereira @jafpereira93 and Franziska Klein @franziKlein_. 4/7

This project was inspired by the recently published preregistration guide (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) and template (osf.io/preprints/meta…) for EEG ERP studies, led by @mariella_n_paul, @asch3tti and @GiselaGovaart. 5/7

We would like to thank @AddisonBilling, @tdresler80, @GiselaGovaart @asch3tti, Bettina Sorger and @LRTrambaiolli for giving us very helpful and encourating feedback! 6/7

Lastly, anyone who sees room for further improvement of PRE-fNIRS (version 1), you are welcome to make suggestions to an open document that we created for feedback that we will consider for any future version. 7/7
