The Upside Of GRINS, Or The Nightmare Of Transhumanism? The ‘Insect Man’ Uses Implanted Antenna To ‘Hear Colors’




Neil Harbisson was born color blind, with a condition known as achromatopsia. He sees the world in grayscale, a drab range of blacks and whites, never to know the deep indigo of a Pacific wave, the magnificent red of a hummingbird’s throat, the iridescent carapace of a jewel beetle, the crystalline orange of sorbet. 

Unsatisfied with his natural-born abilities, Harbisson hacked his body. He had an antenna implanted in the bone of his skull designed to convert color into sound. 

It took him three years, but he was able to memorize the microtones created by all 360 degrees of the color wheel. Once he mastered that, he added infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths to his repertoire. 

He said he knew he had fully assimilated to the device when he began to dream in color. “My brain hears colors in my sleep,” he told the audience in attendance at this year’s first annual BodyHacking Conference in Austin, Tex
