Well, it actually has been done before. And quite a long time ago. It is common to use this kind of "mental tricks" for helping people who lost a limb to adapt to the feeling of having something missing.

Sometimes, when you lose a limb (say a hand), the brain re.adapts and the areas that control the feeling of another part of the body expand to the part that controlled the lost hand. Now what happens?

You get touched on certain parts of your face, per example, but you actually feel you're being touched on your missing hand.

So medics use this kind of tricks (sometimes with mirrors) to psychologically make you feel like you had your hand again.. but instead of using a puppet, they used the reflection of your remaining hand

Yeah, very useless. I distinctly remember trying to set up a Pentium IV server with an Asus mobo. Installed Debian, got SSH configured, everything ready to go. I turned it off, disconnected the monitor and keyboard, and plugged the server into the servers room. Started it up.. but i couldnt access it through SSH. What was it? "Keyboard not found, press F1 to continue" Funnily enough, there was no option in the BIOS to skip "All errors". So the server is still there, with a keyboard plugged in and hidden.
