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.
@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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Imagine if you couldn't hear anything. Common sense would tell you that hearing constant background noise should drive you crazy, but it doesn't. We just accept it as normal. I'm sure to begin with it was very overwhelming just as it would be for a deaf person having a cochlear implant switched on.
You are bombarded by all forms of information, including touch, sound, sight, all the time. Why don't you feel your shoes on your feet unless you think about them? Why can you hold something but in a few minutes forget it's in your hand? Your brain has learned to only give your conscious mind information that it needs at that moment. When your have an itch, your hand will go to the itchy spot without even you being aware of it, and if you have an itch and immediately something more urgent happens, like you spill your coffee, the itch will be forgotten as you take care of the spill. This is something we learn as babies. Their brains are learning what's important and what to filter out.
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.
Because he’s explained in great detail how it works. Maybe you need to get your ears checked. What he explained about colors having different wave lengths, which in return can be picked up by a device and turned into frequency’s so that he can hear them is proven to be true.
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?
That isn't how the glasses work, they don't let you see more colours, they just let you see more difference in the colours. This guy only sees grey scale, so colour blind glasses would do nothing at all.
Would you really call this a breakthrough. He said he ears vibrations. So he still don't know what colours are. Its a learning curve. He ears a vibration. Then someone tells him the corresponding colour. I rather see in monochrome. Than have an antenna sticking out of my skull. Like an alien.

I heard the vibrations and I said “is that wall red” okay. Let’s say this does actually do what he says. How does he automatically know the vibration or frequency of specific colors instantly? Makes 0 sense
I don’t know whether he’s completely fake or not, but if you study color theory and light frequencies then you could probably figure it out. Light has a wavelength depending on color just like certain notes have wavelengths, so if you know like he said that red has the longest wavelength you could associate with the lowest note as well, so if he did his research going in then it’s not impossible
@@blue__exx oh I don’t doubt it’s possible, but sometimes how he rambles and goes on about it, makes it seem like he’s not even really sure himself..... idk maybe I’m wrong and just being a hater.
He said as the first thing he listened to the windows logo with 4 different colors and after that asked if a wall was red - which is one of the colors on the windows logo. I assume he was told which color was which in the windows logo and then just... referenced that sound to the wall's sound and determined it's red. But yeah a whole lot of people kinda misunderstand this to be something much more miraculous, that he's somehow receiving actual colors.... When of course he's not. Just using audio to signify different colors so he can differentiate between them.
wouldn't enchroma glasses be a lot easier on the system? Perhaps they don't work for the completely colourblind, but surely that,s the next step, for that company. . .
Tell me. How would you do that? The casual red green colorblindness works a bit differently. There's no way for the brain to see whole new stimuli that it have never seen before with some glasses. Yes, you could give him some glasses that may help to distinguish between various shades of grey but it will be still shades of grey for him. I could buy some glasses that will help me to "see" ultraviolet rays, but I would not be able to actually see ultraviolet rays, because my brain doesn't know how they look like. Maybe one day yes, with some artificial eyes, but Neil's primary goal was not to distinguish between shades or color better, but to have his own way of perceiving them.
And why does it need to be attached to the skull? You could just have a phone app that converts colors to audible frequencies? Probably be more accurate than his device as wel..
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!?
