Neil Harbisson, from the UK, is a recognized cyborg and the world’s first cyborg artist. He makes art from the colors he sees in music. He was born with rare total color blindness, called achromatopsia, with only black-and-white perception. And he got his first implanted antenna into the back of his skull in 2004.

It can not only connect to the internet and receive telephone calls, but the Bluetooth-enabled antenna also helps him hear images and paint sounds thanks to the attached cam hanging in front of his eyes. He can also hear colors as the antenna converts light waves into sound waves, then transmits them to his inner ear. His color spectrum spans from low (dark red) to high (purple) notes. Interestingly, he can hear or sense colors from the UV and IR light range, which is uncommon to see with bare eyes.
