via The Independent:

The researchers said that until now this technology has only been 
demonstrated in amputations below the elbow.  

A man who lost his left arm in a work accident is now able to control 
each finger of his bionic hand with his mind, using breakthrough 
technology developed by researchers in Sweden.  

Tonney, 54, who declined to give his last name, can perform everyday 
tasks such as using a screwdriver, pouring water into a glass, and 
grasping objects.  

The amputee from Sweden underwent surgical modifications in the 
residual limb to allow his arm muscles to manipulate the prosthetic 
hand.
