Peripheral nerve controlled prosthetics

I was reading about cybernetics and stumbled across this article featuring control of an artificial hand through the median nerve.

There seems to be relatively little information around this, I would assume it is because of its invasive nature.
Anyways, I was curious what you all thought of this and similar technologies.
One thing I found especially interesting was the way the body seemed to integrate the microelectrode array, as well as the eventual failure that was caused from overwear of the wires.
