This is not dumb and is indeed a very active field of research in the broader sense of how do we control/use our own limbs and what happens when the natural pathways stop working. The research tends to focus on how to deal with living humans and their brain to muscle to computer interfaces, but the applications are broad. This fellow is particularly prominent in the field, Jose Carmena.
