			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watch this 60 Minutes story on&nbsp;Scott Mackler, a man&nbsp;with almost total paralysis, who can communicate with a computer with just his thoughts using a BCI (Brain Control Interface).&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>Scott Mackler was a husband, father and successful neuroscientist when he received perhaps the worst news imaginable. At the age of 40, he could run a marathon in three and a half hours, but it was about that time he discovered he had ALS, Lou Gehrig&#8217;s disease.</p>
<p>Today, Scott Mackler&#8217;s mind is as sharp as ever, but his body has failed. Doctors call it &#8220;locked in&#8221; syndrome. Scott and his wife Lynn learned to communicate with about the only thing he has left, eye movement.To signal &#8220;yes,&#8221; Lynn says Scott looks at her; to signal &#8220;no,&#8221; he looks away.</p>
<p>But recently Scott found a new voice. &#8220;Can everyone hear the PC?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>You have to see it!</p>
