For positive affect (PANAS), a marginally significant time × group interaction was found (Wald χ 2 (3) = 7.722, p = 0.052), with no between‐group differences at any time point (all p s > 0.05).

The baseline IBS values for Ch6–Ch6 and Ch10–Ch10 showed borderline significant differences between the groups ( p = 0.053 and p = 0.052, respectively).
Exploratory analyses, however, suggested an uncorrected significant interaction effect in the right frontal eye fields (FEF) (Ch2: Wald χ 2 (1) = 4.015, p = 0.045; Figure 6C ), with the stress group exhibiting a marginally significant increase in Ch2 beta values over time (Wald χ 2 (1) = 3.453, p = 0.063; Figure 6D ) and the control group showing a decreasing trend.
Similarly, during the task‐switching paradigm, the exploratory analyses demonstrated significantly reduced activation in the left pars triangularis (Ch16) from the baseline to posttest in the control group, whereas an increasing trend of neural activation was observed in the stress group.
