I listen to color - Neil Harbisson

Artist Neil Harbisson was born completely color blind, but these days a device attached to his head turns color into audible frequencies. Instead of seeing a world in grayscale, Harbisson can hear a symphony of color -- and yes, even listen to faces and paintings.

Talk by Neil Harbisson.

"Now I dress in a way that it sounds good"
I can't love this statement more

This man's story is so amazing and inspiring. And it shows how man made machines can be integrated into our bodies to overcome disability or limitation.

[imxMuffinzzzxnya]

it of course may sound scary to add electronics to your body but to anyone without the same capabilities as any other ''normal'' person it sounds amazing and in a way it is. science helping peoples 'inabilities'.

[aedenthegreatyt]

WOW! This is absolutely amazing! I really wish I could meet this man in person! His story is incredible and very inspiring. I only wonder what Skrillex looks like! 😆

[salihawouda]

Amazing, I love it when technology is being used for the betterment of humanity 😁⭐

Is it weird that I want this so bad. The ability to hear and inturn feel colors. Wow, I want to meet this man!

We're already cyborgs...glasses, mobile phones, computers, ear buds, watches etc. But each day we are are slowly becoming more of a cyborg.

[askar_]

Wow, he is so fascinating and especial person.

[MichaelSHartman]

I found it very interesting the way his dreams changed to match his sensory perception.

[RuiAzevedo]

now that I use glasses i started to dream with glasses on, does it make me a cyborg too?

[Tapecutter]

If he got another camera he could hear colours in stereo.

[Ndo]

absolutely fascinating, needs more views!

[alaskawoolf]

being a cyborg sounds funny, but it also means your brain can be hacked..

[ordeloliveros]

What a great Ted, one of my favorites

6:58 LOL The varying expressions of the audience members

[BlizzardandBlaze]

Has it changed his way of speaking? Does he now speak more colorfully?

[deezynar]

Imagine changing the pitch/color synchronization in his computer chip.  That'd freak him out.

[yolomcswagginz]

The sound face thingy was creepy I was like Daniel damnit you even sound like a wizard

[Andrea_Manconi]

amazing... and so using coloured lenses could he alter the contrast between colours?

[breathgrowth]

its crazy how his paintings could have been the complete opposite if different sounds were chosen for colors
