Life with extra senses: Neil Harbisson and Moon Ribas at TEDxMuscat 2013

Hello! My name is Rubens Güths and I'm from south of Brazil. I've seen the Neil's Ted talk when he explains that he can hear the colors. I found it fantastic and so inspiring! So, I would like to ask him about the steps of the process of developing this ability of recognizing a color by a specific tone heard. I'm a musician and I can't imagine this process being done in someone without perfect pitch. Thank you so much

I've never heard of anything like this before... Can he really see more colors and see ultraviolet light? I really want to know what the experience of seeing ultraviolet light is like; what it looks like, if it's even a different color completely, etc. Awesome talk; opens up thoughts for the evolution of humanity in the future. :)

could you elaborate?

[@hmlalvarado]

he es listening ultraviolet not seeing, that is the function of his cy-eye, he listen colors by its vibrations.

These aren't new senses you're just translating things we cannot percieve to senses that are already there

You can hear the shape of his hair by listening to Oliver Tree!
