The story is from Wired.com:
"People who have rare earth magnets implanted in their fingers...a finger that feels electromagnetic fields along with the normal sense of touch."
"Appliance cords in the United States give off a 60-Hz field, a sensation with which Huffman has become intimately familiar. "It is a light, rapid buzz," he says."
Sounds really interesting, although the obvious health risks keep me from considering it myself.
