Find out why Neil Harbisson had an antenna implanted into his skull. Neil Harbisson was colour blind until an antenna was attached to his skull - now he can "hear" colours represented by musical notes. **This video features flickering images and high pitched tone.**

For all others wondering: He's had a very simple contraption attached under his skull. This mechanism vibrates at different frequencies dependent on the color detected. It doesn't allow him to hear colors anymore than I'm able to hear taste... Just that it creates a sound...
This said, achromatopsia isn't something I've seen approached in this way... and frankly, I would advocate this approach using the trusty phone camera with headphone sub/super frequencies
I think his device already requires a smart phone to be in his pocket. I don't think it is possible technically that this device is performing independently. It is just serving as a camera and earphones, for processing, a processor is required, which I highly doubt it has. I am 100% sure there is a lag between his "hearing" and camera "seeing" as well. Whether he is paying a monthly fee for this still needs to be figured out.
you could play dumb and dumber, Perfect Role for him 😂🤣🤣 ahaha
"It doesnt allow him to hear color... Just that it creates sound" I get what you mean but when you say it that way it makes no sense
@@codyl5383 well, I said "a" sound.. inferring it makes a sound for a colour... but sure, it could have been worded more clearly! :)
Just destroyed racism.... We're all orange
@@TigerSiChengWang-cb5ql God created us all as Orange 🍊
@@janmakoli6380 I colored humans orange as kids
no, that's incorrect, your perception does not relate to everyone else that's what we call an oxymoron
We all look like Trump…
Imagine sleeping with this on on a coloured bedsheet
Oh- oh no.
This guy is unbelievable. Love this
only he knows the color 😂
Ouch, I just imagine someone yanking on his antenna.
IF THIS WOULD BE REAL HE HAD A NONSTOP MAJOR INFECTION. THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT I CANT BELIVE NOONE DEBUNKEED THAT GUY.

He literally gave himself synesthesia
The Wacko Green Alien 1212 what's that
Without even actually seeing the coloured itself.

He can say what colour is infront of him with his eyes closed. Wow
That never happened in the video
@@jonassal2676 doesn't have to happen to know it
Oliver sounds like the type of person who'd believe anything
To see that each color is assigned a musical note is just amazing. We all live in a world where our frequency is so very important to our lives.
I heard color and felt the vibrations once when i was on a crazy psychedelic. I never heard of anybody else doing this till now. Trippy
@Pud Pete in my opinion psychedelics rlly do connect you to something omnipotent and massive. especially shrooms. you’d have to do em to understand.
@@remasteredvanity Yup
@Pud Pete Look up synesthesia. My dad had it. He could see sound in the form of colors. The brain sometimes overlaps the senses.
@Pud Pete spirituality is not religion
"prince charles face was almost a harmonious C maj"... Editor adds a horrid dissonance to a close up portrait of prince charles.
I'm just wondering though... wouldn't it at least at some point become annoying to constantly hear the tones? Like let's say he's trying to read or focus on something- wouldn't the constant sound make it harder?
He probably is used to it
It's a human teletubbie? No noone?
+Max Hansen lol.
It never stops. The ringing in his head.
His world is filled with music and this music brings joy
335 people's comment
I just realised, he could make music by lining up colours in a row and walking passed them with the antenna on the colours.
He is always surrounded by sounds wow... Is fascinating
a color blind artist....that would be an excellent idea for a batman villain....oh wait...nevermind
Where does this come from again?? Been googling for 20 minutes but i cant find or remeber this joke and is driving me crazy
@@eah811 there was a silver age Batman villain who’s origin story is the toxic chemicals from his paint caused him to go color blind
3:45 hey ho. hey ho
Misfit Massacre lol
😂😂😂
This is top draw, because he is interpreting things through vibrational frequency as is meant to be fascinating!!
This guy is amazing. Someone should really make a movie about him
We have enough movies about delusional outcasts. This guy is a robot larper who’s whole shtick is “colors sound like this guys trust me bro”
@@illivanilli364 woke
'We are all orange'
Randey Blissveld (OLD CHANNEL) but but you look red
No no no you look like a tomato so now your not man or women nor cyborg your sir are a TOMATO
speak for yourself ! 😂
he should have added a laser pointer in order to target the area that the sensor is reading
So basically it whispers colors into his ear
I can't believe that color has sound like he can hear it
i see full color. one eye sees on a red/yellow scale and the other blue/green but my brain tends to make most of its thoughts memories and dreams in grey scale.
Google glass looking fresh
neil: In the twenty's more ppl will be wearing technology- me: **awkward inhale** well, so far....
interesting bloke, saw him in Spanish newspaper website ElPais and it looked on the video like he wasn't dubbed and his Spanish was really good, I think he Spanish accent sounded like it was from Spain.
+David Boris Fernandez He is British but raised in Spain that is why he speaks Spanish like a native
This is awesome!
It's good to see you this is amazing
this must be exhausting... however, there must be a way to turn the device off, to get a break.
I don't think so. It's a new sense like any other for him.
This is absolutely fascinating, but I would go crazy with the sounds of color everywhere all the time. Especially infrared, there would just be permanent humming no?
My same thought. I think it would drive me mad to constantly have the humming of infrared in your ears
Well it's being in a state of acceptance and pure submission, I'm sure it's annoying sometimes but this is his life his determination lead him to do something he was born without it's absolutely beautiful and amazing
I think he can switch the machine off.
@@blueblood-_- ah I did wonder. Thanks.
@@combatwombat594 I know it would just be full on 24/7 I personally would absolutely lose it because I value my peace so much!
I don't think anything is out of place at all. You to see and hear color the same as the rest of us who are synesthetic. What you go through in the visual world I go through silently. I dare not tell anyone anything about what I see and hear, I see sound and hear color in my minds eye and it's beautiful. I'm happy you have this device that allows you to see and hear a wonderful world we live in.
Legend.
i imagine listening to music and classical music as a burst of color everywhere. what would be nice.
that's psychedelia
No his music is still just music... and his "colors" aren't actual colors, they are notes that have been assigned to represent colors so he can make the distinction, but he's not actually experiencing colors.
Though sure, if he has associated every note for every different color, then basically every song has representations of colors... but... it's not like he's experiencing some "burst of color" in his brains.
This thing is so exaggerated heh.
You do know that's the opposite of this guy claim right? Also it will never play music it'll just be a hodgepodge of vibrations on the top of your skull oh boy how beautiful.
Look up synesthesia. My Dad saw colors that would swirl and move to music. Translucent, not solid. My sister said numbers and letters would suggest colors to her, but it didn't prevent her from reading or doing math.
it's funny to see all the negative comments. This society needs to be more understanding and accepting. Cool the dude has a spectrometer attached to his skull, he's experiencing more than us.
This is NOT True ... I am a Nuclear Scientist and Colour does not give out an sound nor vibration ... This guy now wants to be called a Cyborg ... not a man nor a woman! That's what this is about.
Like that cat
@@DonaldHTyers Sir, you are no Nuclear Scientist.
@G Wtf a spectrometer this small isn't even possible. Let alone the implantation into the brain would be impossible. Also, he would need to have perfect pitch.
Donald H. Tyers yeah... im totally sure some dude on the internet is a nuclear scientist 😂😂 fuck outta here
so is this like constructed chromestasia which is one of the types of synesthesia?
He is from another dimension.
Incredible!
Idk why but this makes my palms hurt
One of the most bad ass things I've ever seen.
so if someone were to tug on it...
He's ahead of time , I'd say .
No, no, for that he would've had to sow a clock under his scalp
Amazing.
At 4:20 a kid does a thumbs up. I applaud him
Hearing color, seeing sound.
4:20 the badass kid at the background😂😂😂
Now I want an MP3 of how I sound and wonder if his senses have connected in a manner to where he knows what color something is without going close to it.
This is brilliant!! Amazing future ahead!!!
6:00 this sound is so ominous, fitting of Charles😂😂
And I smell sounds.
Found my nemesis.
This battle will be epic.
Everything is frequency, separation is an illusion we are all from the same pure, divine energy, everything is connected, we are all connected unconsciously, As above so below as within so without.
Very interesting...wonder if he can shut it off tho...could be a curse as well...just hearing musical notes non stop..would drive someone insane
Nope, he cannot. And he even doesn't want to, because it's a new sense for him. You also cannot turn off your sight or hearing.
@@dodoismus369 he should’ve at least installed a switch
A real life teletubbie
1:54 i was following along with the notes until i heard his blue being written as a C... that is definitely a C#, violet is also D# and not D
I've never seen something like this before
Imagine him taking a shower
How is it so impossible
I'm protonopia colour blind but that is a unique way of thinking.
this is the dream of every producer to get perfect pitch lmao
It looks like it hurts
Why do you make negative comments for this? Do you want him to live with color blindness forever?
He can tell without looking back when the copper hits the lighbridge lights. Although 95% of the time there would be a siren LOL
They do know our brains cant pick up vibrations but electrons
Looks a bit like penguin from Gotham
That's so insane we have hearing colours before gta6 😂
🤣🤣LMAOO
he can hear colors and see souds 😮
I thought hè was a cyborg
Genius.
6:55 so how does he have conversation people why do the people not yell at him there
wow and this was made 7 years ago
What meds are u on? To stop your immune system from… know attacking the antenna
Perfect Pitch
How it works without battery?
Everyone has different preferences.
2:00 blue is actually C# / Db and Violet is actually D# / Eb.
that's what i noticed too, it was a whole tone scale until the very last note being a half step above
Dude took color blindness too far
Him : everybody is just different shades of orange
This man just cured racism
Wouldn’t it make sense add a Camera to the antenna for blind people
You can hear the shape of his hair by listening to Oliver Tree!
im colourblind stuff getting one of those
Makes one appreciate the profound sensitivity of actual organisms--how much they/we perceive. Odd that we have to go though a (rather crude) mechanism to experience color and sound, something that is innate to most of us. Kind of sad. Maybe the absurdity can wake us up?
Shawn Chatfield really taking this whole mega64 skit stuff to seriously now smh
That's cool but can you turn the sound off?
+Kieran Turner it's not sound, it's vibrations
@@S4NSE vibration=sound for brain
No, he can't.
hey, he changed his antenna design 😂
You don't need an antenna to know this - my butt is a BMajor!
even my 8 year old daughter says, "I'd rather see gray...."
it comes with wifi as well. might have to look into it
It's so creepy...
So why can't he do the same for smells?
I have been trying to interpret colours myself to try to develop a better way to understand music. My senses were telling me red was A, B purple, C yellow (sun), D , E, F green (forest), G (blue of sky), still working out any more, no minors or anything as yet. When he says red is quiet does that translate to the sound of playing A on a guitar? To me A on guitar sounds like a bright lively chord so I give it a red colour. I'm wandering if I should learn a new way such as more in relation to colour and scientific sounds waves!?
How.
Kinda lowkey lit ngl
If he tried to "hear" vantablack, would he hear silence?
he can hear frequencies other than visible light though
I don't know Rick ..!😂
This is cool but the sounds are too loud and it would be annoying to hear around continuously
*Wears Despacito*
We always joke about hearing colour, who would thought it's real
Wow imagine seeing everything in black and White
LiL BoSsY unfortunately there's a ton of people who do, figuratively...
“We are not black and white we are all orange”
this is the opposite of how synesthesia is for me, i see sound
I see only sharp sounds. It's like a lighting bolt
@@vatovegan7164 actually you guys are both loons who will do anything to seem quirky and different. Such a sad life
He looks like Gareth from the office
i listened to the wall
