"We arent't white or black, we are orange." weheartit

This week I read in "The Red Bulletin" an article about the artist Neil Harbisson and wants to introduce you to file. Neil can not see colors. Sunsets and sandy beaches - everything looks beautiful to see us, Neil only gray. This is not to his eyes, his brain can not simply use the colors. But he has a blast device that helps him "see" the colors yet: a Eyeborg. This is a small camera that he, with antenna mounted on a flexible metal, prior to his forehead. The camera captures everything that Neil sees and translates the colors in tones that Neil can be heard in his head. 360 colors or shades can hear Neil Sun Practical: Neil is an accomplished pianist.
What you do not can see that under his hair with a plastic ring around Neil's head on which the camera is mounted. At the back of the ring, a chip is attached, the light spectrum of colors translated into sound frequencies (and if I had some time paying attention in school, I could tell you that more carefully ...). Two mini-speakers, which are on Neil's temples, the sounds play via bone conduction directly to the head. If you have a tuning fork, you can beat them and squeeze the handle on the skull - then you hear how Neil.
Neil with the Eyeborg always and everywhere. At night, he hears nothing, because the camera receives no black. And the shower of plastic. Even on his card should bear the Eyeborg Neil (after a legal dispute, which he won with the help of his doctor). Of course, Neil also attracted more topsy-turvy. Indeed, its existence only colors that sound good.
operates the meantime, Neil Cyborg Foundation, a sort of advice point for people and wants to help in the production of new Eyeborg. This makes a more cyborgs in the world - that wishes Neil.
A super freaky story that I find very exciting and made me think about how to listen to my favorite colors, actually. New decision: From now on, I wear only colors that sound good.
