A blind person? Sure - there are ways to "cure" blindness by inserting chips into the brain, so I'll give them a pass. Paralyzed people, on the other hand, won't regain control of their own limbs, only have external actuators respond to their thoughts - we already had that technology. We've had it for decades, without the need of a brain implant.
