Ever longed for to take manage of your (or better, sombody else's) body around electrical signals, University of Tokyo's investigate exprerimented about this.
The initial device is obviously called the PossessedHand, and controls your digits by sharpened tiny electric currents in to your wrist around electrodes strapped to your forearm. The PossessedHand runs on an Arduino micro-controller, and can vehicle regulate itself to ensure it is twitching the corrects fingers and muscles inside your hand.
The theory is that the PossessedHand could be used to learn people to fool around low-pitched instruments by practice their fingers to pierce correctly. I'm not sure that this simple, foolish exercise would obviously work without involving the brain. After all, "muscle memory" doesn't obviously reside in the muscles.
It could, however, have medical benefits, teaching patients to use their hands once again after strokes or accidents, and it would make a great silence present to weird people out at parties.
Just ensure that the controls do not obtain in to the incorrect hands (pun intended). Otherwise you, similar to Ash, could finish the being strangled by your own hand.
