This real-life cyborg has an antenna implanted into his skull

Artist Neil Harbisson was born completely color blind and sees the world in grayscale. But even though Neil can't see color doesn't mean he can't sense it. That's because Neil Harbisson is a cyborg who can hear color.
In 2004, Neil convinced a doctor to implant into his skull an antenna that detects and transposes colors into corresponding tones - allowing him to hear color through bone conduction. He considers it a new body part.
"This is an implant, so it's permanently attached," Neil says. "There's no way of removing it."
As co-founder of the Cyborg Foundation and one of several known cyborgs on this planet, Neil expects humans to be more open to the idea of implanting technology into their bodies in the near future.

you are completely correct, it doesn't seem very possible that this implant can do everything he and the media say it can. this guy is just an artist, this antenna project is just an art project, something more symbolic. as if it were a provocation to society, the idea that someone could implant some kind of sensor in his body.

I'd rather get that antenna. Being colorblind is really not fun at all. I only see shades from yellow to red to purple. No idea what for example green or blue look like. It's just a different shade of red for me. And those who claim they'd rather be colorblind have NO IDEA how difficult it is to for example: Go shopping, drive a car (practically impossible), go see a movie, play video games (thankfully many devs put colorblind options now so it works out,) even cleaning the house is sometimes difficult because some things just blend into their surroundings. Can't wait for some future tech to fix me :(

[@SpencerFcp]

Why would driving a car be difficult? I can get why it might be hard learning....but I'm assuming you can just look at position of street lights. Plus all signs have writing on them. I'm legitimately curious, not questioning you.

[@80WooR]

SpencerFcp As possible as it is to learn your way around traffic with deficiencies in seeing colors, it's not a very safe way to move around. A bus is fine too. Sure I might be able to learn my way around traffic and signs etc but I would never do that at the expense of another persons' safety. I don't think anyone would want to drive the same streets with someone who has a significantly higher chance to make mistakes than your average "bad driver".

There's a big difference between wearing a smart watch and having one implanted into your body. Once something is implanted it becomes apart of you and you can no longer detach yourself from the device. We already know if the data collection and breaches of big companies with our devices, you would then be giving a big part of your very inner self to these cooperation ls, advertisers would literally own you and your very thought process. When it comes to planting unnatural objects into your body science should take a step back and we as people must set boundaries as to how far science can be pushed.. You might say that these antanea or what ever are enhancing these people's lives, but at what cost? Becoming a cyborg is giving up certain parts of your humanity, how far will this go? Until we're part human and part machine? Robots are primarily used to program and be controlled.. Humans will be giving up huge sectors of thier freedom, ability, privacy and concious to these high tech, AI companies and who knows how it will be used against us.

I want a fully cybernetic body. Replace my limbs, organs and bones. I want to have an all metal mechanical body.

[@sundeeps1778]

I would rather be color blind.

[@MontoyaMatrix]

They didn't go into detail about how the procedure did make more sensitive to shading (since he can only see in black and white), and it's relation to the actual color. To the point where he actually started to dream IN color because the device was relating colors to him as sounds. The problem, which he, nor the doctor understood, is that they got the colors backwards. He is hearing RED as an F-natural, but, it's actually C-natural is like red (it is also square-shaped, by they way). For green F-natural, think of the Bach pastorals, or Beethoven's Pastoral symphony. Classical pastorals, or country-side music, were written in F and F#. // No, Niel Harbisson's pitches blend up the rainbow from F, and it ends on E, which they have as Magenta, but really E is Yellow (almost the opposite color). Like, for example, in Fleetwood's Mac's "Mystified," Christine McVie sings in orange-yellow (E-flat) at bridge-section: "The light that shines around you, it blinds my eyes. There's a magic surrounds you. Tell me where your secret lies." So, she's singing not about sunlight (white light) but a person's aura, inner-light. Which would be E-flat and E. But Niel is hearing that color energy in the OPPOSITE sense (or at least one tone away form being the opposite pitch of the actual color). But this is a good start. He's kind of a Saint to have had the vision and courage to have the pitch-implanted into his skull. (I think the pitches resonate to a bone, not his brain itself, as i was reading).

This takes "hearing colors" to another level.

[@blvphn4429]

looks old technology. people with color blinds i heard only use special glasses why hearing color with antena wtf. thats very complicated and looks ridiculous. poor guy. god bless him

[@The123SeanyG]

blv phn This was from 2004 before the glasses were around.

[@icepenguin7278]

it says he has a rare colorblind disease and the glasses don't work on him

[@Torryhankton]

I'm sick of using technology

[@DanTraxex]

[@BrettIIXIIVIV]

How does he sleep with that ?

[@mason1sdg]

Kidkoala you know.. People toss & turn in there sleep without realizing.. Wow you're so smart commenting the same thing.

[@jafjavier4939]

you know, with both eyes closed

[@900bz]

He tugged at it in the video it probably doesnt matter much when he bumps it or rolls on it

[@adamvincent7139]

You can buy a certain type of sun glasses that can do the same thing . They're not the best looking glasses BUT they look better than that freaking coat hanger sticking out of your head . I mean I get it . But I don't get it .

[@amysix2067]

Hahahahahhaahh

[@magot4life100]

I think he only sees grey and in that case the glasses won’t work for him and they weren’t even out when he had this put in

[@bowiemoonen2565]

I've seen this video when I was in high school boat five six years ago and seeing it again now gives me a whole new perspective on it coming from the age where are we now have Google Glass Alexis and her home and Google home Minis. And it's growing every day as I spoke my I picked up and asked me if I had a question shows it when you have a heads-up display on the left side of my glasses and a smartwatch and an insulin meter. Worlds changing I remember having a Walkman on my hip when I was little and using streetlights on long drives to light the screen . Now I am the dam screen

[@therandomturdontheschoolba112]

So what happens if it breaks.

[@nancygipson3499]
