    Abstract: 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 interrupter, the individual is instructed to respond to the interrupter 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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented methods for difficulty-adjusted multi-participant interactivity. Also provided are computer readable media and computer devices that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure. In certain aspects, the disclosure pertains to closed-loop assessment and adaptive methods and systems designed to equilibrate difficulty challenge levels across multiple (two or more) participants in interactive activities. In some embodiments, a first individual presents a first simulated challenge to a second individual and the second individual responds to it. Depending upon the response of the second individual to the first challenge, the second challenge presented by the first individual to the second individual may be unchanged, made ore difficult, or made less difficult so that the modified second challenge is commensurate with the skills of the second individual. Thus, the disclosure provides customized experiences for individuals of disparate physical abilities to enjoyably interact with each other.
