In a coupled control mode, the surgeon directly controls movement of an associated slave manipulator with an input device while indirectly controlling movement of one or more non-associated slave manipulators, in response to commanded motion of the directly controlled slave manipulator, to achieve a secondary objective. By automatically performing secondary tasks through coupled control modes, the system's usability is enhanced by reducing the surgeon's need to switch to another direct mode to manually achieve the desired secondary objective. Thus, coupled control modes allow the surgeon to better focus on performing medical procedures and to pay less attention to managing the system.

The present disclosure relates to methods and tools for enhancing cognition and improving well being in an individual. The methods involve presenting to an individual a task to be performed, presenting to the individual an interference, and receiving inputs from the individual. Where the interference is a distraction, the individual is to ignore the interference. Where the interference is an interruptor, the individual is instructed to respond to the interruptor as a secondary task and is said to be multi-tasking. Inputs are then also received from the individual pertaining to this secondary task. The methods encompass iterations of these presentating steps and receiving of the input, and generation of analysis and/or feedback to the individual. The methods can further include conducting an analysis and/or generating feedback to the individual. The analysis can include a comparison of the performances with or without each type of interference.

A server system having one or more processors and memory receives, from a client, a request to perform a first task. The server system determines whether a first slot in a primary task queue having a plurality of slots is available, where the first slot was selected in accordance with a slot-selection function designed to probabilistically distribute respective target slots for a plurality of successive tasks across a plurality of different non-consecutive slots in the primary task queue. In accordance with a determination that the first slot is available, the server system inserts the first task in the first slot in the primary task queue. In accordance with a determination that the first slot is unavailable, the server system inserts the first task at an entry point of a secondary task queue.
