We work our fingers by remote control. The fingers are special, because there are no muscles inside the fingers.

I use this fact when teaching to get students to Lift their heads and stop looking down at their ski tips! Dropping your head when skiing tends to put your weight in your butt and then you are back seat skiing.
But Philips, through their Boston-area research group, have more than 40 patents on the subject.
The average adult human head weighs about 11lbs of which the brain comprises 3lbs. Of course the absence of a brain reduces the total to 8.
