CBS Sixty Minutes has interviewed two paralyzed patients with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that allow them to communicate and control a computer.

Brown University neuroscientist John Donoghue believes that amputees will one day be using BCIs to control robotic arms, and those with paralysis will be able to move their own arms and legs again.
