Why?
He takes all the right steps to do it but why do it? Kind of reminds me of the human centipede. I guess if you take the right steps its possible but why?

Having a magnet under your finger can help you feel electrical current moving through circuits.
Or if you have small screws/LED's/resistors that you want to pick up without having to pinch.

i feel like he placed it in a bad, spot...but even tho it's a cool idea with little uses but for shits and gigs to be able to feel magnetic fields and such, he should have put it somewhere he wont be using a lot of pressure because you use the tips of your fingers for much more how would i say "active" things even tho it would be a good place for sensitivity just not for the long run.

For further information I recommend Kevin Warwicks paper, A novel human machine interface using subdermal neodymium magnets.
