A vehicle steering system and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle steering system includes a steering shaft and a steering transmission shaft. The steering shaft or the steering transmission shaft includes a first shaft section and a second shaft section. A clutch mechanism is arranged between the first shaft section and the second shaft section. In an engaging state, a transmission connection is established between the first shaft section and the second shaft section and in this case, a controller determines that the vehicle enters a driving mode. In a disengaging state, the transmission connection between the first shaft section and the second shaft section is disconnected, and in this case, the control modulecontroller determines that the vehicle enters a game mode.

A system and method for targeted neurological treatment using brainwave entrainment therapy with passive treatment that allows for targeted treatment of particular areas of the brain, particular neurological functions, particular neurological states, and combinations of areas, functions, and states. The system and method receive gait parameters for an individual and compare those against a database of historical gait data to determine if an onset neurodegenerative condition is present, and applies a brainwave entrainment therapy responsive to the determination of the condition. The system and method receive a neurological assessment identifying areas of the brain or neurological functions to be treated, select one or more treatment modalities and frequencies, select a treatment regimen, and apply brainwave entrainment using a treatment regimen while the subject engages in dual-task activities selected to stimulate the areas of the brain, neurological functions, or neurological states to be treated, enhanced, or altered.

A system and method for a cloud-based gaming platform with integrated health-related data collection capabilities. In an embodiment, the system and method comprise a cloud-based gaming platform comprising a frontend accessible from various game clients which operates a gaming environment on one or more game servers, a backend that provides the game database and analytics used by the game servers to operate the gaming environment, and a HIPPA-compliant security gateway configured to route health-related data from gaming to a healthcare diagnostics and treatment module integrated into the platform. Exercising on an exercise machine compatible with the cloud-based gaming platform entertains the user while simultaneously capturing data about the user's physical and mental performance which can later be used to diagnose medical conditions and, depending on configuration, implement treatment regimens comprising exercise routines and mental simulation via tasks in the gaming environment.

An entertainment system includes a two-handed controller comprising corresponding controls in each of opposing halves of the controller, a first of the corresponding controls in each half providing input in at least two dimensions and a second of the corresponding controls in each half providing input in at least one dimension; and an entertainment device comprising a receiver adapted to receive control input signals from the two-handed controller, and adapted to operate in a first mode where the received control input signals from the controller are interpreted according to an asymmetric control assignment, and to operate in a second mode where control input signals from the first and second controls for a respective half of the controller are used to control the position of a respective virtual limb in three dimensions within a virtual environment provided by the entertainment device.

A cloud-based healthcare diagnostic and treatment platform capable of making non-invasive healthcare diagnostics and treatment recommendations based on data captured from combinations of physical activity and mental activity. In an embodiment, the system and method comprise a healthcare diagnostics and treatment module comprising a HIPPA-compliant security gateway, an AI-assisted healthcare diagnostics module, and an alert and treatments module. The HIPPA-compliant security gateway separates out health-related data from streams of data which may include other data such as game data, provides the health-related data to the AI-assisted healthcare diagnostics module which performs diagnoses of the health-related data using machine learning algorithms, and provides the diagnoses to the alert and treatments module which generates alerts and treatments based on the diagnoses.
