News From The Future – Amputee Demonstrates Bionic Hand…
Last year, Patrick, a 24-year-old Austrian, decided to have his dysfunctional hand amputated and replaced with a bionic hand. He lost the use of his left hand after being electrocuted at work. Here he demonstrates the extra movement his new bionic hand has given him, opening a bottle and tying his shoelaces, and tests a prototype hand which will give him additional wrist movement

Electrocuted = dead.
Nifty. I guess if your hand was useless you’d trade up in a second.
No description of how he controls it though.

Electrocution is the stopping of life (determined by a stopped heart) by any type of electric shock. At least, it is according to Wikipedia. ^_^
On topic though, I wonder how he controls the hand.. Is it through nerve-impulse detection, or is it mechanical, a là flexing certain muscles against the harness?

There is a great video of the DECKA arm out there, it was on 60 Minutes. It is controlled by a mixture of movements from the existing stump and feet.
