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.

I can see that he's color blind by the way he's dressed up.
its all fake he is selling it hard
@@internetwantstoknow how so?
@@THATNIGGACRAZY10 Because I dont see how he is using it to his advantage besides the fact it just looks weird and attracts attention. And why is there no neurological study Done. TO many Doubts thats why, sometimes it really is ad simple as it looks, no ned to blow it out of proportion. If this was a advantage of some ting, there would be alot of people with this thing stinking out fomr where ever it sticking out from. And honestly, there are glases out ther that can measure sound waves in the air and you can visually see, them, why look like this. Dobts suggest Attention Seeker and So does his outfit. Like if it wasnt bad enough that you dress very flamboyant and dont get enough attention yous tep it up one step further and further. Attention Seeker,
@@internetwantstoknow yeah when I read the title I was confused
@@internetwantstoknow i dont why i read the last part "antena seeker" XD
I would rather be colorblind...
Good for you.
Joshua Azar I agree
Joshua Azar I'd rather have a advanced prosthetic limb
Joshua Azar why not using color blind glass
Joshua Azar Maybe if it wasn't in such a awkward position I wouldn't mind it.
I'd throw random colours at him in a rapid motion and give him a one hell of a Skrillex beat lol
Imagine if he went to a rave
😵😵😵😆
@Wade Haden - Master Jedi Engineer Goth shhh
whats that color festival with these bags thrown again called?
@@jiorts Holi
Him: sees rainbow
His brain: beep boop intensifies*
epic LoL 🤣😂😅
But WHY that haircut?
It's cute
+Jnvska Also his clothes, I wonder if the colourfulness of them makes them more appealing to him, haha.
He probably senses that they're good colors together. Poor man.
Jnvska honestly, it kinda suits him.
It's swag
Getting that caught on something would be horrible
More like a walking lightning conductor. If this guy goes out in a lightning storm, im sure he gets zapped right away directly to his brain
Not to mention, if someone was ticked at him enough and gave that thing a good yank...OUCH! He tugged a little on it and said it won't come out, but let someone like Dwayne Johnson grab ahold of it and give it a good jerk.
It would look like a Mortal Kombat fatality.
@@playeah1 Right! How does he survive storms??
Omg
Or snatched out of his head, ouch!
That one guy who gets mad for thinking he's filming people, tries to rip it off his head. That'd be a hell of a day!
ouch it's too true
oof my man would probably die since its connected to his head
Nah he didnt died in catalonia when a cop tried to rip the antena off. The antena just broke
Nah he didnt died in catalonia when a cop tried to rip the antena off. The antena just broke
Lmao
*puts antenna on head*
... so I'm a cyborg
I would like to know if he changes em out and puts on rabbit ears!? 😂😂😂😂
he is dumbass,by definition he's a cyborg .
@@TheQuantaLight stfu
@@GoWokeGoBroke2023 stfu idiot
Yea he ain't a cyborg
I would go crazy hearing beeps everyday
@Jonas Johnson replacing the brain in a human body and then transfering it in a cyborg body is gonna be a lot of work
@Jonas Johnson there's a lot of work that you haved to do before you create a cyborg
@@ifeelverydead9180 a cyborg isn't just a human brain in a robot body.
A cyborg is half human and half technology.
This means you could look exactly like a human being but be filled with technology on the inside while still having all of your real organs and blood flow intact.
Maybe he covers it with something if it gets annoying 🤔
Beep
Well obviously the thing doesn't work properly. I mean, look at his wardrobe!
+cole williams Maybe he likes the sound of it?
Josue Estrada-Cordoba HAHAHA!
+cole williams lol!!!
+Madrad Calm LOL! Maybe you was right
+cole williams He said on TED that he desses so it sounds good.
I actually think this is really dangerous. If he accidentally gets the antenna hooked on something and falls. Or if he gets bullied and into a fistfight. And someone yanks the antenna because they don't know its attached to his brain. There are so many ways he could accidentally die with this thing.
Not his brain, his skull
@@Littleknockoutkidmac It would still hurt like hell
That's one thing. What about sanitary issues. No really what does he do to avoid infections
@@mrpineapple3942 haahhahah
I would pull his antenna for sure if he was in my class
2:22
I thought that was Mr.Bean whilst it was blurred
His dress sense makes me wish I was colour blind
not cool
Lol
James Bryant this deserves more likes
no wtf, its not cool. Evverybody got his own style, why hate? fucking loser...
The7thsensekid ironic name, a sense of humour isn’t 1 of the 7 then. This man has a weird 1990’s webcam coming out of his head, a face only a mother could love n hair cut performed in the dark! If I wanted to hate for hating sakes I would have picked on those. Chill...
how tf you sleep with that on ya head.
@Okt Kuma XD
The off switch
He sleeps standing upright.
i literally wanted to say the same thing
Tons of pain killers
1:50 "so i decided to have bluetooth so i can receive colors from other places of the planet"
Welp, heard enough.
I wonder what TSA thinks when he tries to go through security.
Braselton94 sir please remove your antenna
@@corey1854 Him: But-
Security: Sir, Please remove your antenna.
Him: I'm sorry, It's implanted, It can't be removed.
Security: Nice joke.
He didn't talk about the technology or the transducer he used, or the way it stays powered, or the way it transmits the "bone-vibration" signals to the brain, or how he developed the gadget, or how he worked with a doctor to implant this "revolutionary technology", how he funded the project, how he sleeps at night, how he showers, whether or not he has to take antibiotics for the permanent wound he would likely have with such a device, how long he plans to wear it before it needs to be removed, or how he was able to get his hands on the tech 15 years before anybody else (before they had cell phones, apparently). I call BULLSHIT on this video, as an electronics engineer.
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.
@@Solano1111 I swear to god broo I was thinking this is like an art piece or something
It might be more useful to implant a glow in the dark dildo on his head
@@Solano1111 hoho how this comment and reply have badly aged
You can charge things wirelessly, you can probably turn it off, plus it's probably water resistant, but I know about the other things. It seems pretty fake now that you bring it up.
What if someone just pulled it out? Would his nerves come out like tree roots?
***** What was the point of this?
That was a beautiful image. Thank you.
Well it is fake
@@droneflyer1.894 and you know how??? yeah you don't
Yeah I'm kinda thinking of that too. Hope he is okay tho.
My dad was color blind..I dont think he wouldve opted for this even if they were giving it away..He said it's like seeing 10 different shades of grey..I'll take that over an antenna
Your clothing colour code tells me your antenna isn't correctly calibrated !
Amazing innovations in science...and all you fuks are talking about his clothing....I’m soo happy I didn’t notice.
I wonder if you can hack into the antenna
ok, kim jong un
Mr Kim I'm still waiting for you to invite me to get shit faced
SlammedSocietyS2k :p very very soon
Kim Jong Un 🤙🤙🤙
Take out the orange dotard already
This guy did this for attention. Bone conduction technology doesn't need to be physically attached to your skull, he could've easily got the same results with a wearable device.
Its called innovation my friend.
@@benkenobi5128 idk if ur joking but if not, that’s literally stupidity. Why would u implant something into your head when u can get the exact same results through a detachable device??
@@benkenobi5128 it's actually called a hoax.
no one asked bozo
Hey, this man is part of my bachelor thesis, do you have any sources for this claim? I cannot find any
This takes "hearing colors" to another level.
Bro dresses like Saul Goodman.
I wound't say he's a cyborg. There's an antennae drilled onto his skull that vibrates it and allows him to hear sounds. It's more like a *slight* enhancement.
Id rather stay colorblind
Nathaniel Echeverria why? Are you also colourblind?
Me to
@@monst3rderek259 because you won't have a big ass antenna stocking out your head

YES!!! Lol

Omg
I would rather not see color than have that thing in my head
Until you're actually colorblind...
The Healthy Einstein no even then
I rather wear the glasses to see color..
There's people with functioning bionic arms yet this guy thinks he's some superstar with a vibrating rod sticking out of his head. what does hearing colours even do
EDIT: Fuck me he's colour blind my bad, but they have glasses for that lmao
Cameron they did not have it back then
New cyborntics!!
The glasses wouldn't work on him. The glasses enhance the less vibrate colors that a colorblind individual sees, if someone (like Harbisson) is born entirely colorblind there is nothing to enhance and the glasses won't work. He can experience colors only because of this antenna.
No the glasses won't work... He only sees in greyscale...
People like you are what's wrong with the world.

I cant believe how much the media has fallen for this. Go speak to any doc or engineer and you soon realise its a piece of art, and not functional.

did you have a stroke while typing this
hahaha
@@ElectricGun100 its not real. Go ask any tech savy person.
@@ElectricGun100 have you gone and asked any tech savy person yet? For one thing, he claims its powered by magnets, which isnt possible, or we would power everything by magnets. And he's a "artist".
*Is that Jake Paul?*
Dank Lord 69 no....
LMAO literally made me laugh so hard
Cyborg version i guess
Yes....
lol no
From the moment I realized the weakness of my flesh . It disgusted me
This has to be the last thing someone would want if you want to be a cyborg
Or you could just get enchroma glasses. They're removable too.
Kyle Julien he had this put on in 2004. Enchroma glasses weren't around then. But yes now he would have this option.
Enchroma glasses works for people that just can watch fades of gray like him? He doesn't knows colors at all
he has a special type of colorblind that the glasses won't help with
Imagine preferring some boring glasses over a cool chad anthena
@@ENJERUNE imagine not wanting something implanted inside of you.
i want to see surgery photos and xrays before i belive this crap.
Phillip zane no u dnt.shit is crucial and usually done in a shed in the back of someones moms house after school!lol..fr the ppl that do this...even the most professional, do these surgeries very crude,sterile,but crude and painful...
he...asked....a....doctor....you....fucking....moron....Nannerz L
and yes i do too Phillip zane
Phillip zane im with you man
This isn't anything. There are brain implant devices that let you control robots through thought. To accomplish this would be pretty fucking easy.
I decided to not just be a dork, but a freak
Imagine having an antenna and it dont even pick up radio signals...
Boi that’s a spy kids watch camera extender. Look it up
fr tho i had one like are these people on acid hearing color lmao dumbasses
hhhhaaahahahaaa
lmfaooooooooo
Is this the actor that plays the Penguin in Gotham?
I bet he gets good cell phone reception.
Boy he better not get into a fight😂😂😂
self-surgery kits!? NO, PLEASE, PEOPLE--NO!
seeing color is SO much better then hearing color. He should just try wearing the glasses for color blindness.
I doubt that would work, as he legit cannot see color, he doesn't have a common type of color blindness where you mix colors up.
You either die a hero or live long enough to hear colors
you would think being a cyborg is something special, but even my grandma was a cyborg, she had a pacemaker
pikmin
Aman Gowalkar what candy pop bud did he come from?
TheBubbleBear78 - 😂😂 dont know
Shrekboi69 - the columbine candypop bud
Aman Gowalkar you just said “dick my” in danish
What the fuck
WHY IS UA-cam SUGGESTING I BUY "REAL HUMAN SKULL?"
That makes him actually so vulnerable
That's a spy gear camera
GamingKing that was pretty cringey.
Ye
So essentially he just gave himself voluntary Tinnitus. As a person with constant ringing in my ears, I can tell you that this is quite, well... Stupid.
i know the feeling
it is fucking annoying i would rather be colourblind then listining to beeping noises any longer
I feel it. Sometimes when its dead quiet, my ears start ringing like a grenade just went off next to me and it drives me *insane*. It fucking sucks. Also this dude looks like a goddamn tool with that thing on his head and that shitty haircut.
Tool would imply there's any practical use for what he is.
i don't think that works like tinnitus, he sense vibrations
lol also they have glasses that make you see colour. Makes it even more useless.
This dude got this thing implanted so long ago, time for an upgrade.
Why doesn’t he just wear it back like a ponytail?
External Pineal Organ
From Beyond?
Omg
woke
i charged mine from vaping dmt over 100 times in one year...what a year
i discharge them mnx over 40 times a mars year????????????????????????
or he could have bought the enChroma glasses :s
Haha yep
Haha yep
+★Hige Yep, and besides, even if they would help, they're expensive, I'm green color blind but I can't afford them.
They are around $349. Alot cheaper than getting an atenna implantet in you head lol.
EmiiL And they don't fix total color blindness...
I wonder how he sleeps without breaking that antenna.
Got a detector upgrade…not sure what that hacker sent him.
judging by what he's wearing that antenna doesn't help with his color blindness
Hugh Dolliff I have seen normal-sighted people with garish colors like that. Having color sight is no guarantee you'll dress in classy nor well-matched colors
but why the horrible haircut?
Takes attention away from the antenna lmao
PMeursault for the same reason he got his entennae
Attention
He’s probably having problems finding a person to cut his hair...
"No bro. You can hardly even tell its there. Seriously."
This brings new meaning to hearing colors lol
He isn’t an cyborg he’s, just an augmented human, a cyborg has to be half machine half human. He just has an antenna
Underrated comment
wrong. definition: a person whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body. No requirement says you half to be half and half. By definition, he can be considered a cyborg.
definitely not useless lmao. it helps him to identify a lot he wouldn't have been able to otherwise.
He is a human radio
Read what cyborg is. He is a cyborg. Star trek boyyyyyy
I bet it hurts if he stands in the hot sun and that thing in his head heats up to 150 degrees and kills off some brain cells.
Jim Jones i bet it sucks when your pacemaker will accidentally run out of electricity, or your implants get you a nice infection, not even talking about the inside implants you will have when you will be older, or not
I think it is from standing in the sun and loosing brain cells that he got the antenna in the first place.
Jim Jones - what brain cells?
I was gonna say.. you can’t kill your brain cells if you don’t actually have any. Hahaha
Imagine your kid saying he/she wants to be a cyborg in the future
He just needs to hire a designer now. A product designer, and a fashion designer.
What happens if he sees a rainbow.
Inventive Mastery he organisms...
His head explodes
Inventive Mastery ur fucking funny Skittles
I got a better question what happens if he sees a double rainbow?
Michael Morrison “organisms”
All I thought about while watching this was how dangerous this would be if someone were to attack him and just yank at the antenna.
*Pairing with Neils implant* *plays speed racer*
I envy this guy. He has accepted himself.
Worlds first hack able person
Now if only we could *taste* colors...
Joking aside, this blew my mind. So amazing!
just eat some skittles my dude
Skynet: *peace was never an option*
He used the extendable camera from a toy spy watch😂
What if someone decided to just pull really hard on the antenna..?
Ya not very smart suppose he gets into a fight hes screwed
Kidkoala yes you would Capt Obvious, but not everybody has a fucking antenna, so it is a perfectly reasonable question.
Why have you posted the same crappy posts to people asking similar questions
How do you know what specific color you are looking at with all those different inputs going at once?
Well we have a word for that
"Bullshit"
Imagine going through airport security
Yeah, or Immigration for that matter..
Imagine the antenna gets stuck somewhere and he accidentally rips it off his skull
How does he sleep with that ?
Kidkoala you know.. People toss & turn in there sleep without realizing.. Wow you're so smart commenting the same thing.
you know, with both eyes closed
He tugged at it in the video it probably doesnt matter much when he bumps it or rolls on it
That’s neat and now you just need a new barber
I died 😂
Not saying this works for every colorblindness out there, but you do know there are glasses that allow you to see color right?
'like animals has antennas, i wanted to have an antenna too'
'Like my dog has cancer, i wanted to have cancer too'
This is insane!
Now all he needs is a giant yellow suit and to change his name to Lala.
(teletubby reference, lel)
im fucking laughing
Mans became a literal teletubby.
That's why his tie is a rainbow.
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 :(
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.
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".
Finally, thank you
I’ve had this happen to me taking magic mushrooms ; no joke I could legit hear colours and see sounds.
this took "can you hear color too" to the next level because now its not even sarcasm
You know your high when you start hearing color
He probly shouldn't have done it, but I guess we all can do whatever we choose with our bodies. Though if there was a light attachable to it, it would be helpful to get to the bathroom at night.
That would be far more practical.
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
He is technically a cyborg if he has that implanted into his head
bro imagine getting so high you start hearing color
