Another project that he was only able to describe in hearsay (it was going on in Kiev) was “tapping” messages from the central nervous system by placing electrodes on the skin of the forearm; and, conversely, “introducing” messages into the central nervous system at the same point. Signals could be recorded, he said, from the arm of a skilled pianist while he was playing. Then this recording could be played into the arm of another person who could not play the piano well. That person would then be enabled to play difficult music — but also would retain some of this skill as permanent learning.
