The stimuli may include but are not limited to information related to education or entertainment or feedback concerning the user's movement. More specifically this movement may be related to coordination, exercise or physiotherapy. The methods and apparatuses of the disclosure involve the user conducting movement, while simultaneously processing information (via: learning; creating through typing, moving, or talking; or being entertained) and receiving feedback or assistance related to that movement, processing, or any combination thereof. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of receiving sensory feedback while moving involving: one or more sensor relays; any number of output devices; any number of movement devices; and one or more computer processors that: receive a signal from any of the one or more sensor relays, detecting the information related to the user; analyze the detected information against any number of predefined set points; and either: send a signal to any of the output devices, instructing the decision maker; or send a signal to any of the movement devices, controlling said movement devices. ### Claim 2 An apparatus comprising: one or more sensor relays; and either: one or more output devices; or one or more movement devices; wherein said sensor relay may detect information related to the user; and wherein said sensor relay may send one or more signals to one or more other sensor relays, output devices or movement devices; said output devices translating and communicating said signals to a decision maker; said movement devices altering based on said signal; or said other sensor relays detecting information related to the user and sending a signal to any of the one or more other sensor relays, output devices, or movement devices, or relaying the signal sent to it, to one or more other sensor relays, output devices, or movement devices. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) An apparatus as described in claim 2 further comprising one or more computer processors; wherein said sensor relays may detect information related to the user; wherein said sensor relay may send one or more signals to any of the one or more computer processors; said computer processors may then analyze the detected information against any number of predefined set points; and either: send a signal to any of the output devices, instructing the decision maker; or send a signal to any of the movement devices, controlling said movement devices. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) An apparatus as described in claim 2, further comprising: one or more of output devices; and one or more movement devices. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) An apparatus as described in claim 3, further comprising one or more of output devices; and one or more movement devices. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method described in claim 1 wherein the user learns, is entertained, or creates using a media device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The apparatus described in claim 2 further comprising: a media device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The apparatus described in claim 2 further comprising a standard treadmill. ### Claim 9 (depends on 2) The apparatus described in claim 2 further comprising: a circular treadmill which responds to signals sent to any of the movement devices. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The apparatus described in claim 2 comprising a treadmill that uses a combination of solar power and battery power to maintain a default speed. ### Claim 11 (depends on 4) The apparatus described in claim 4 further comprising: a straight treadmill which responds to one or more signals sent to it. ### Claim 12 (depends on 4) The apparatus described in claim 4 further comprising: a circular treadmill which responds to one or more signals sent to it. ### Claim 13 (depends on 4) The apparatus described in claim 4 comprising a treadmill that uses a combination of solar power and battery power to maintain a default speed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method described in claim 1 further comprising a moving walkway in a room for use by multiple users. ### Claim 15 (depends on 3) The method described in claim 3 further comprising a moving walkway in a room for use by multiple users. ### Claim 16 (depends on 3) The method described in claim 3 wherein feedback from said output device allows the user to alter the media device or feedback from said computer processor is sent to the media device, thereby automatically altering it. ### Claim 17 (depends on 4) The apparatus described in claim 4 wherein Said computer processors send signals controlling said media devices. ### Claim 18 A method for moving while receiving information within a defined area bounded by sensor relays. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) A method described in claim 15 wherein one or more sensor relays send one or more signals to one or more output devices to inform the user of their position. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) A method described in claim 16 wherein one or more output devices is a headset.
