>With the Third Hand attached, it becomes a split body - on the LHS <left
>hand side> voltage in, generates involuntary limb motion; on the RHS
><right hand side> voltage out (using electrodes on the abdominal and leg
>muscles) actuates the robotic Third Hand. Sensors on the arms, head and
>left leg allow the body to become the video switcher, and video mixer,
>structurally connecting motion with image. Involuntary motions from the
>body will also generate sampled body signals and sounds.
