The one about the hand is the more interesting one - enough that I'm worried it's a hoax.
Anyone been able to find corroboration for it?
The second story, transmitted nerve signals, builds on research I knew to exist. Some years ago, I attended a presentation by a man who did exactly that kind of research, though at that stage only on animals. He had yet to figure out how to limit the pain from his implant, which was a step he insisted on taking before even proposing to use it in a human context.
