1. Introduction
Injury to the right hemisphere of the brain often associated with the neurological disability of function and neglect-induced cognitive impairment in drawing, coloring, and copying, is known as art constructive errors in painting (Rhee, et al, 2016; Rode, et al., 2017). Art constructive errors are among the spatial disorders of painting and commonly include missing elements, omission errors, change in size errors, visuospatial destruction mistakes, and neglect of warm colors faults. These errors have been observed in patients, such as those with professional artists, with damage to the right side of the brain (Annoni, et al., 2005; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007). Particularly, right-brain stroke-related disturbance in painting demonstrates various forms associated with the distinctive painting system of a given art. For example, some professional painters had difficulty in painting in terms of deformation figures, disruption in landscapes, and disruption in the estimate of depth and distance (Annoni, et al., 2005; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Chen et al., 2016; Mazzucchi et al., 2013; Pasqualini & Pasqualini, 2012). However, these art constructive errors in painting are not quite understood. The errors may be affected by visuospatial processing, have a convened array of art constructive errors in painting, and require a particular rehabilitation strategy of their art constructive errors systems (Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Vaes et al., 2018; Vallar et al., 2006). Currently, clinicians have several options to consider when choosing interventions for those living with a deficit in visuospatial processing and unilateral neglect, including mirror therapy, prism adaption (PA), and non-invasive brain stimulation (Azouvi, et al., 2017). Prism intervention is a visuospatial processing rehabilitation that has been shown to have a promising therapeutic effect on multiple aspects of visuospatial neglect, motor-related symptoms of spatial neglect, as well as the performance of activities (Hreha et al., 2018). Non-invasive brain stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is another approach treatment that has been effective in visuospatial unilateral neglect recovery. At least one study showed higher efficacy of continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) compared to other patterns of TMS (Cazzoli et al., 2012; Cotoi, et al., 2019; Yang et al., 2015). Therefore, there is a need for more effective approaches for stroke rehabilitation; for example, a combination of PA combined with cTBS. However, the effect combined PA and cTBS has not been studied on changes in specific art constructive errors in painting and visuospatial unilateral neglect. 
Accordingly, patterns in art constructive errors in painting were detected to improve patterns in the error in painting. In this study, we examined the relationship between art constructive errors in painting and neglect in stroke patients before and after rehabilitation. We hypothesized that cTBS can increase prism adaption effects on improving art constructive errors in painting and visuospatial unilateral neglect test scores.

2. Materials and Methods
This pilot study was conducted in Shariati Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from August 2017 to November 2018. 

Subjects
Fourteen individuals enrolled for rehabilitation in neglect and art constructive errors in painting. Stroke patients with neglect and art constructive errors in painting, verified by MRI, clinical examination, and paper-pencil evaluation (line bisection task (LBT), figure copying test (FCT), and coloring test (CT)), were enrolled and provided informed consent for participation. A total of 14 patients with neglect and art constructive errors in painting secondary to stroke were randomized via block randomization method to two groups for rehabilitation. They were tested for art constructive errors in painting using FCT, and CT. They were also asked to attend ten sessions over a 2-week period of rehabilitation with prism adaption (Ten Brink et al., 2015) combined with non-invasive brain stimulation. The prism glasses with ten degrees of visual field displacement with adaptation by mirror training were given to the participant. The stroke patient was sitting near a table, on which a vertical mirror box (35×35×35 cm) was placed. They observed the reflection of the right intact hand as the movement of the left hand in the mirror for 20 minutes (Ng et al., 2015). In addition to prism adaption, one group of stroke patients received continuous theta burst stimulation over the left parietal (P3) cortex for two weeks in ten sessions, and the other group received sham continuous theta burst stimulation over the same (P3) cortex for two weeks in ten sessions. The measurements were done before and after rehabilitation. No follow-up was performed. Neglect patients with art constructive errors in painting were unaware of the group assignments; they were informed that they are going to undergo treatment for their art constructive errors in painting and visuospatial unilateral neglect. However, the cognitional therapist was aware of the neglect of patients’ group allocation. The inclusion criteria consisted of neglect due to stroke, art constructive errors in painting, having suffered a right-brain stroke, and being right-handed. The exclusion criteria were age less than 18 and more than 80 years, brain trauma, implanted heart pacemaker, a previous history of copying and coloring or painting deficit, epilepsy, cerebral edema, and intense pain. All 14 participants were right-handed; 10(70%) were men and 4(30%) were women aged between 46 and 79 years. In terms of the type of stroke, 6(40%) participants had ischemic cerebral infarction and the stroke onset date was before six months prior to the randomization in six (40%) patients. There was no difference in demographic baseline characteristics in terms of age, sex, education, acute stage (stroke onset date was before six months), chronic stage (stroke onset date was after six months), type of stroke, and outcomes before the intervention (Table 1).

Assessment of art constructive errors in painting, and neglect and measurement technique
All participants were evaluated for art constructive errors in painting and neglect before and after treatment. Art constructive errors in painting were measured to detect, size error, perseveration, deformation, and neglect in warm colors using the FCT (Johannsen & Karnath, 2004) and CT (Blanke & Pasqualini, 2012). Unilateral neglect was measured using the LBT (Bonato et al., 2008; Guariglia et al., 2014).
They were also requested to attend for two weeks in ten daily sessions of the prism adaption (PA) combined with continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) in the experimental group and PA combined with sham cTBS in the control group.
In the art constructive errors of the painting task, all participants completed the FCT and CT on an A4-sized plain paper before and after the rehabilitation. No time limit was considered for the test. Only the art constructive (visuospatial) errors were evaluated as coloring and copying of painting, and semantic art of painting errors or professional painting in the art errors were not assessed. Each error was scored as one. 
Previous studies have shown the classification of art constructive errors in painting into deformation, omission, and neglect of warm colors (using cold colors) in accordance with the criteria determined by Olaf Blanke et al. (Blanke & Pasqualini, 2012). We used new suggestions for the detection of the classification of art constructive errors in the painting system. Constructive painting errors were further classified into omission, deformation, small size error, neglect of warm colors, and perseveration errors in the FCT and CT (Figures 1 and 2).

Deformation errors are the creation of a nonexistent form of copying or coloring. Omission errors mean that the painter ignores more than 50% of the space in the square of coloring and deletes one part of the landscape from the shape in FCT. Visuospatial size error means the painter changes normal size painting to small size painting of CT and FCT. Neglect of warm colors means that the painter changes colors of warm (yellow, light green, and red) to colors of cold, which is characterized by cold, hard, and metallic colors, such as gray, black, dark green, brown, and marine blue. Perseveration error is related to the repetition and addition to the painting (Figures 1 and 2). In the CT, the stroke patients were asked to color a multi-object scene consisting of miniature style on an A4-sized plain paper. The coloring section ratio was computed from the ratio of color omitted on the left side of A4 paper to the total score of coloring canceled for neglect evaluation. We also calculated another score, which was the ratio of art constructive errors in the painting by the patient. 
In the FCT, the stroke patients were asked to copy a multi-object scene consisting of five figures on an A4 paper. The omission of at least one of the left-sided features of each figure was scored as one, the omission of each whole figure was scored as two, and one preservation point was given when left-sided figures were drawn on the right side. Each perseveration was scored as one. The maximum score was ten for neglect evaluation. We also calculated another score, which was the ratio of art constructive errors in the painting by the patient. 
In the LBT, patients were instructed to bisect 40 horizontal lines including ten lines on the right side, 18 lines on the middle side, and 12 lines on the left side of the page. The absolute distance between the patient’s bisection and the midpoint straight lines were computed. 

TMS intervention 
We used a MagPro X100 machine (Magventure Company, Farum, Denmark) equipped with a commercially available figure-of-eight coil for cTBS. The experimental group received continuous theta-burst Stimulation (cTBS). The cTBS inhibitory protocol was 801 pulses in three bursts at 30 Hz and was repeated every 100 ms (5 Hz, θ rhythm) with 80% of RMT. The cTBS inhibitory protocol was applied in P3 on the intact parietal (P3), left side based on the EG 10/20 system in ten sessions over a 2-week period (Yang et al., 2015). The control group underwent sham magnetic stimulation by tilting the coil vertically (90 ̊) the same as the experimental true stimulation group (Rossi et al., 2007). The participants in both groups received intervention for days ten per week for two weeks. Participants were blind to the type of therapy they received. These stroke patients tolerated cTBS treatment using 8-coil without the incidence of any complications. We used a safety guideline for the inhibitory protocol (Rossini et al., 2015). 

Statistical analysis
Student’s t-test and Fisher’s exact test were used to comparing the groups at baseline (PA combined with cTBS vs. PA alone) for continuous and dichotomous variables, respectively. Then, repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed between the values of LBT, FCT, CT, and total art constructive errors in painting, with the group (PA combined with cTBS vs. PA alone) as between-subject main factor and time (post-treatment vs. pre-treatment) as the within-subject main factor. In each ANOVA model, cTBS was assumed effective if group×time interaction was significant indicating more score changes in the experimental group compared to the control group. For all statistical analyses, a P<0.05 was considered to be significant.

3. Results
Changes in the art constructive errors in painting 

In our present study, the primary outcome was changes in the art constructive errors in painting (Table 2).

All patients in both groups showed improvement in art constructive errors in painting effect (total error score of both the FCT and CT), revealed by repeated-measures ANOVA. In the repeated-measures ANOVA of art constructive errors in painting scores, the time factor was significant (F=130.567, P=0.001) indicating that both groups’ art constructive errors in painting scores (total error score) improved after the treatment. However, the group×time was not significant (F=1.612, P=0.228) indicating no difference between CTBS+PA and PA alone effect on art constructive errors in painting scores changes. 
Figure 3 shows art constructive errors in painting scores’ means in both groups before and after ten sessions of rehabilitation without painting practice.
All patients showed, on average, 5.3 (Mean±SD, 5.35 ±1.15) errors on art constructive errors of painting before rehabilitation compared to only 1.5 (Mean±SD 1.50 ±1.62) errors on art constructive errors in painting after the intervention. Visuospatial omission, deformation errors, and neglect of warm colors (using cold colors) were the most frequent errors in the FCT, and CT followed by stroke patients with neglect in the pattern of painting’ errors. A reduction was observed in the scores of all classifications of art constructive errors in painting, which suggests improvement in errors in painting symptoms in participants of both groups after the intervention (Figure 3).
Classification of art constructive errors in painting, omission, deformation, perseveration (addition), neglect of warm color (using cold color), and size errors were detected to be the sum of the scores of errors in the participant before and after the intervention (examples are shown in (Figures 1 and 2).
The results of increased significant improvement in the art constructive errors in painting and neglect are summarized in Figures 1.


Changes in the neglect scores
Neglect scores descriptive statistics before and after the rehabilitation are provided in Table 2. In the repeated-measures ANOVA model with the LBT, FCT, and CT scores as the outcome variable, the time factor was significant (LBT: F=31.630, P<0.001), (FCT: F=64.438, P=0.001), and (CT: F=117.923, P<0.001) indicating that both groups’ neglect variable scores improved after the rehabilitation. However, the group×time effect was not significant in the LBT (F=0.338, P=0.572), FCT (F=2.959, P=0.111), and CT (F=4.493, P=0.056) indicating no difference between the PA combined with cTBS group in the LBT, FCT, and CT scores changes compared to the PA group (Figure 3).

4. Discussion
This pilot study showed that in all stroke patients with neglect and art constructive errors in painting were improved after ten sessions of rehabilitation with PA alone and cTBS combined with PA. Art constructive errors in painting were classified into visuospatial omission error, deformation error, perseveration error, visuospatial small size errors, and neglect of warm colors (using cold colors) in stroke patients with neglect. The most frequent errors were visuospatial ‎omission, deformation, and neglect of warm colors. 
Prism adaption has been used for neglect treatment with variable success. However, our findings corroborate some previous trials reporting neglect approaches for rehabilitation (De Wit et al., 2018; Vaes et al., 2018). Improved visuospatial unilateral neglect symptoms as a result of rehabilitation may translate to improvements in the art constructive errors in painting. Some other clinical trials did not find such an effect for the prism (Barrett et al., 2012; Ten Brink et al., 2017; Turton et al., 2010). Differences in the clinical trials’ design (prism glasses with six degrees of the visual field displacement compared to prism glasses with ten degrees in the current study), the employed evaluation (measured using “Aiming” compared to measured using “Where”), and the characteristics of the recruited stroke patients with visuospatial unilateral neglect can explain this disparity. Another explanation is the fact that all patients with neglect received a modification of prism adaption by mirror therapy at baseline. In contrast to prism adaption, mirror therapy showed improvement in visuospatial unilateral neglect with success (Pulyk & Hyryavets, 2018). It was previously shown that mirror therapy three times a week for 20 minutes for three months performed better at the neglect test after the intervention compared to the control group. Mirror training acts by activating the mirror neuron system (Pulyk & Hyryavets, 2018; Zhang et al., 2018).
Trials on cTBS rehabilitation approach over the left intact parietal cortex are effective therapies for neglect (Cazzoli et al., 2012; Cotoi et al., 2019). We found that a combination of PA and cTBS was effective in the art of constructive errors in painting and neglect recovery and was not even more efficacious when cTBS was added. One possible explanation is the near-complete rehabilitation effect of the art constructive errors in painting and neglect tests in both groups. All patients showed, on average, 5.3 errors in painting before rehabilitation compared to only 1.5 errors in painting after rehabilitation.
In the present study, it was hypothesized that the recovery combination stimulated and employed more networks of the brain, which might improve art constructive errors in painting and unilateral neglect in stroke patients. More studies are needed with functional and structural neuroimaging to verify this hypothesis. Previous studies have shown the promotion and correlation between changes in functional connectivity and structural attention network measured using neuroimaging in PA and cTBS (Fu et al., 2017; Nyffeler et al., 2019; Tsujimoto et al., 2019), and a reduction in pathological hyperexcitability (Corbetta & Shulman, 2011; Koch et al., 2012; Koch et al., 2008), and the new mechanism of combined rehabilitation may explain the implicit recovery effect seen in stroke-induced neglect, and the art constructive errors in painting in the current study.
In contrast to implicit recovery (without practice) in the art constructive errors in painting, previous studies have been based on writing, imaging, painting, and relearning of practices (Pachalska et al., 2008). However, there is limited research into therapy for adults with acquired art constructive errors in painting. Previous studies on the art constructive errors in painting focused on stroke effects in professional painters (Pachalska et al., 2008; Rhee et al., 2016). Although patients in our study were not professional painters, they presented errors in the painting, like professional painters after a stroke. 
Findings regarding the classification of constructive errors in painting showed that omission errors were most common in patients with stroke-induced neglect. Omission error outcome was consistent with studies on professional artists (Bäzner & Hennerici, 2006; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Blanke & Pasqualini, 2012; Rhee et al., 2016). Right-hemisphere stroke patients showed mostly left space omission errors and changes in painting style (Annoni et al., 2005; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Mazzucchi et al., 2013; Rhee et al., 2016). In contrast, left-hemisphere stroke patients showed painting without omission (Mazzucchi et al., 2013).
In our study, a wider use of cold colors (brown and marine blue) and minimal use of color on the left side was observed. Some patients with neglect used minimal color on the left whereas they colored the right side completely and evenly. Likewise, the selection of cold colors was observed before the intervention in professional artists with stroke-induced neglect (Bäzner & Hennerici, 2006; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Blanke & Pasqualini, 2012; Mazzucchi et al., 2013; Rhee et al., 2016). After rehabilitation, wider use of warm (yellow, light green, and red) and cold colors was observed in stroke patients with neglect.
In the current study, patients with neglect used minimal size in the drawing. However, our findings corroborate some previous studies reporting professional artists with neglect symptoms for a bi-dimensional perspective, in an attempt to avoid depth representation on their part of the painting (Bäzner & Hennerici, 2006; Mazzucchi et al., 2013). Unreality painting outcome of small size, deformation, and neglect was consistent with studies in professional artists with right-hemisphere stroke (Annoni et al., 2005; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Blanke & Pasqualini, 2012; Mazzucchi et al., 2013; Rhee et al., 2016; Rode et al., 2017). In contrast, left-hemisphere stroke patients often remained hemiplegic (right-sided) and learned to hold the brush with their left hand with practice. The beginner-style painting persisted in patients (Mazzucchi et al., 2013). Disturbance in the estimation of distance-related deep neglect mechanisms may underlie the small size perception, omission, and deforming effect seen in art constructive errors in painting in stroke patients (Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Rode et al., 2017). The brain processing after rehabilitation in visuospatial unilateral neglect may translate to improvements in the art of constructive errors in painting.
In the present study, patients with frontal damage had perseveration. Likewise, frontal-brain stroke in professional painters showed mostly perseveration (adding) errors (Bäzner & Hennerici, 2006; Bäzner & Hennerici, 2007; Blanke & Pasqualini, 2012; Mazzucchi et al., 2013). 
This pilot study had some limitations; only a single center was assessed; thus, the study had a relatively limited sample size. Also, 40% of our stroke patients were in the acute phase of recovery. Likewise, cTBS was reported useful in rehabilitation in terms of neglect in the acute phases in some clinical trials (Kim et al., 2013; Nyffeler et al., 2019). Nevertheless, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at baseline in the time since the onset of the acute phase (Table 1). The absence of cTBS alone for comparison was also a limitation in the present study; however, cTBS has been conducted in a previous study on neglect recovery (Cazzoli et al., 2012). More research is required to replicate our findings in a larger group.
The present study was the first clinical trial of a combination of PA and cTBS therapies for the art of constructive errors in painting without practice in painting and neglect symptoms. Further studies are suggested on the relationship between the art constructive errors in painting and underlying impaired perception mechanisms of the brain using electrophysiological and, functional imaging to verify whether brain regions are activated or deactivated.

5. Conclusions
An influence was found between art constructive errors in the painting system and neglect in stroke patients. Art constructive errors in painting patterns were determined to improve size discrepancy, omission, deformation, perseveration, and neglect of warm colors. The current results showed that art constructive errors in painting and neglect may be affected by rehabilitation and art educational strategies. Neglect appears to specifically affect the painting systems of stroke patients. The novel PA combined with cTBS and PA alone method could be potentially useful tools for rehabilitating patients with stroke-induced art constructive errors in painting and neglect.
