Randomization and blinding
All eligible PISEI and healthy subjects were randomly assigned to the resting state, Stroop task of fNIRS simultaneous testing and TMS intervention. A computer‐generated randomization table with a 1:1 ratio, created by a statistician not involved in the research, was used to randomly allocate patients to the above program. The distribution method was assigned confidentiality through sealed opaque envelopes, and the envelopes were kept in a central, closed closet by independent researchers who were not involved in the study. After the initial evaluation, the allocation scheme was disclosed to the therapist operating the TMS. In order to make the gender balance between PISEI patients and healthy subjects more balanced, we stratified and randomized the above subjects according to gender. A blinded practitioner assessed the participants at baseline and 3 days after the end of the TMS intervention, and the data were statistically analyzed by a physician who did not know the grouping status.
