The Human Eyeborg: Neil Harbisson at TEDxGateway

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. Neil Harbisson’s “eyeborg“ allows him to hear colors, even those beyond the range of sight. --- In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
