Neil Harbisson: I listen to color
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2012
- www.ted.com 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.

I wanna see this guy solve a cube
Nah, he'll do it matching by sounds. I want him watch a fast cube solvers and say if it sounds bad for ears or it' sounds quite brilliant.
Now I wonder how it sounds like.
😂
I wanna see this guys job interviews.?
Does no one else think this is a kind of incredible? Am I the only person who cares about the fact that we now have technology which means that you can completely change the way in which you feel the world by implanting something completely unnatural directly into your brain? I know he's not the first person to get implants like this, but whatever you think of the final result, the fact that this is even possible is amazing. It has huge implications for the future of humanity.
But no, by all means just sneer at him for self-indulgence. Because it's more interesting to make fun of someone than actually think about this.
I love the idea of listening to colours. It's always fascinating when I learn about people who have embraced an alternate way of viewing or experiencing the world that isn't at all common.
I especially like the idea of perceiving outside of the visible light spectrum.
@@karasuchrono he’s not really hearing the color he’s hearing the light that’s coming through it
@@32s thats like saying "hes not dead his heart just stopped"

I don't actually have anything to say; I'm just here to remind you of this really old comment
koreaboo spotted~
Ah yes, a decade old comment
I really admire him. His sense of humor is exceptionally good.
He's so crazily passionate about this and it's amazing. Just listening to him speak it's so intriguing.
true
Another lunatic
@Ra who? 🤔

I wonder what color does he say the dress is
maybe beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee boooooooooooooooooooooooooobeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pipipipipippipipi beeeeeeeeeeeee
SmoOker I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!!!
SmoOker You know the hourly pips on BBC radio? He says that the dress sounds like those.
NO
probably yanny
His eyes are so full of life
I grew more and more amazed as he progressed through the speech. It was amazing to watch as something that started off as a novel idea grow into something so incredible. It's kind of like a simulated synesthesia but one that actually extends our senses. Truly one of the best TED talks.
8 years? (ง ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)ง ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ (ó﹏ò｡) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°) ( ͡ಥ ͜ʖ ͡ಥ) ༼ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ༽ ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)
ive been looking into this. have always been interested in transhumanism/biohacking/cyborgism. this guy is remarkable. from a first glance he just looks like a hipster trying to be unique, but then when you listen to what he has to say it really makes sense. he percieves reality totally differently than we do. i think using technology to improve the human body is amazing.
This guy can hear infra-red. He can perceive heat, like the pit viper.
That's so awesome.
Why are commenting like Gen z?
There is a painter artist who makes some rather convincing paintings out of music. He assigns the musical intervals to a colour that 'looks' as the interval sounds. E.g. a pure warm fifth gets red, a stringent 9th magenta, a third yellow etc. I have seen Bach's WTC painted that way. It looks surprisingly good.
Do you happen to know/remember their name or works?
This is my best TED talk since 10 years ago and the reason I started watching this channel.
It's been a while since I've seen it, but I'm impressed again.
Finally, somebody else who hears color. As an painter, it's hard to explain that to people. His is definitely on a different level since he's color blind. Being around people or in a place that is too loud is like being in a room that is too bright. I hope I get to meet him one day in my little ol' life.
Sure, buddy! Keep thinking that!
@@OneTequilaTwoTequila I don’t understand you
No, you can’t hear color, figuratively maybe, but you couldn’t hear color how this man can, he can literally hear colors.
I don’t know why you making it sound weird

I saw this ted talk right away move my feeling into tears of joy I could content myself when I hear a music note for each color. I am not a musician but as an art student I asked myself how each note will sound for each color? This video explained to me like not other person could. In color theory we talk about the complementary color, which are the opposite colors in the color wheel. As I see (7:08) MLK Jr and Hitler color mix my eyes fill with tears and it took my breath away. You can see the same colors but in different arrangement, which is an example what opposites are.

@@NanaYawAforo He used to be
That is incredible that he can hear light waves we can’t even see
Yeah because the device is actually a light-to-sound converter. Since color is light, all it needs to do is convert that into soundwaves and send it to his brain. And then when he hears music, he's pretty much just matching the tones to the tones of color he hears daily. Like one specific piano key makes the same tone as a shade of blue.
he could have done this without putting the device in him though , so ....
how can he take a shower
...........
I think it's waterproof lol
Shower cap my guy
waterproof
Angie Vergara he’s referring to having an electric antenna in water not his colorblind trait
Shower by touch 🤔
I love this guy and I love his passion. Would love to have him for a hommie
When he showed the speeches, my first thought was I have a dream.
same !!!!!
This is the most amazing TED talk I've ever seen.
this is the first TED talk i've listen
It does need more recognition
This is cool, it's like induced synesthesia...very cool, and sci-fi ^_^ But not exactly the same as colour.
+PrettyPinkPeacock Why is it not the same as colour? Colour is just light at different wave lengths. Whether you perceive these wave lengths by eye or by ear doesn't matter. It's still light.
Akopalypse
i know a little more about how people percieve synthesthetic colours now, and yes, some people see a projection of the colour onto reality, whereas others have an association. If Neil projects (it depends on how your brain is wired) then yes, he's *really* "seeing" colour, but either way, it doesn't really matter to me.
I have synesthesia. I don’t have much association with cords as much as instruments. A violin sounds purple for example.
fammmm 8 years agooo (ง ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)ง ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ (ó﹏ò｡) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°) ( ͡ಥ ͜ʖ ͡ಥ) ༼ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ༽ ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)
this was 10 years ago. imagine what we can do NOW.
oh my god, the video is a great inspiration , every single word can be taken as a great quote, one of my favorite Ted videos so far ...
"Where a device, is no longer a device, it had become an extension of my senses"
“This is the sound of a dirty sock”
today , i am Dressed in c major
How do you even lay down, isn't that uncomfortable?
"this is the sound of grass" made me laugh my socks off
Probably the best TED talk I’ve ever seen. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t like TED talks.
"I can listen to Picasso." That's a different level of experiencing art.
Fascinating! Great way to deal with a disease. It would be interesting to install this device on someone who has seen color. He was awesomely dressed too!
Are you alive?
Incrível, que mais pessoas possam pensar assim como ele!
Simply amazed.
such a passionate human, inspiring.
i love his choice in clothing, pure irony
that's not irony
you need to stop seeing clothes and hearing yourself talk.
that doesnt make sense
Lolllll
@7:52 guy in the middle is dead asleep hahaha
This is whole new path for me. My needs tech are completing. I hope I can make my life's work came true. This is the mile Stone in my mindset. Thanks for your serve !
I didn't think about the problems of people with monochromacy before I watched this video. It really scares me. The fact that people have to live with this disease is truly terrible. Neil Harbisson has come up with a truly unique way to solve this problem. To transmit the perception of colors using sound directly into the bone is a very bold decision. Many will say that these sounds are terrible, but for people with monochromasia, these sounds determine the perception of the world. I really admire Neil, his struggle with his illness. My only wish is that there are fewer chronically ill people in the world, and those who were unlucky enough to be born with the disease, fought it to the end and helped others, just like Neil.
ава ава автф
one of the best ted talks. Related to human experience/perception, strong scientific/technological background, entertaining and for a good cause with his foundation. WOW
for a man who can't see colours his fashion sense is amazing.
Love your work man. You are incredible.
Mois aussi j'adore son travail je le félicite
No consideré los desafíos que enfrentan las personas con acromatopsia hasta que vi este video. Me resulta inquietante descubrir que hay quienes tienen que convivir con esta condición. La manera de Neil Harbisson para abordar este problema es realmente única, transmitir la percepción de los colores a través del sonido directamente al hueso. Me parece fantastico que se pueda oír colores. Admiro sinceramente la valentía de Neil al enfrentar su propia enfermedad y más que todo de ver la solución a su condición para tener el color en su vida gracias a la tecnología!
I believe that each person has a different sound in their mind for each color, and moreover, the colors are derived in infinite tonalities that it is really a divine act to try to conceptualize "literally" a single color.
this is so important
its just like the beginning of ghost in the shell and matrix... and ppl dont even realize how bad it goes
Best TED ever..... I can inspire from you.
That’s so amazing!!!!
It's almost like an induced form of Synethsia. I have a mild form of the condition myself, I associate pieces of music and certain note sequences to color. His is like the opposite except he has not color input and the music notes are the colors.
Same. I have multiple types. Grapheme color (numbers, letters, days of the week, months, words to colors), sound to color, auras (people to color), shapes to color. Auras sound confusing but my teacher is very green if that explains anything. A violin in purple. An oval is also purple. Monday is red. A is also red. 5 is blue. Class sounds yellow.
I remember telling my brother before I knew I had synesthesia that a song was too green for my taste. Now I like green/yellow songs. And being upset because there was no red notebook at Target for math class. I’d color code everything.
To eat Bjork.. my goodness. I love this.
Absolutely incredible!
Amazing ! So Inspiring !
tho it might be a great experience, I don't wanna look like a teletubby

It was interesting for me.
About how his perception of color has changed since he use technology and start hearing colors, we can imagine how could it be. It's amazing how he use this for himself, as a new way of seeing the world and enjoying it.
I love that he share his experiences and talk about how this technology has opened a new door.
Cuando vi el titulo del video, se me hacía algo raro, pero cuanto más hablaba de la percepción de cada color a través de ondas es realmente asombroso. Ir a diferentes lugares o conocer personas y que cada uno tengo un tipo de vibración diferente, es maravilloso.
So I'm colorblind (either deuteranomaly or protanomaly) but I can't imagine seeing in a grayscale. That's just crazy.
Thanks for extending your field of perception for all of us. What a gift!
Se observa a una persona determinada y con una gran confianza en sí mismo para lograr hacer lo que él no puede ver, sin duda alguna el único límite que existe entre lo "imposible" y nosotros somos uno mismo. Esta charla fue de gran motivación.
Absolutely incredible
I only wish he could make a better desgin for the sensor over years. Idk he can make it something cool like Google Glass or a headband. I can't unsee the colored version of that sea monster in Finding Nemo >.>
bruh this is an art assignment I have and this thing is hurting my head like im gonna ask can I have another assignment because I can't even go through the whole video without my head hurting
I think the best part about this imo is the fact he can detect UV and IR. UV detecting would so dang useful on days where I may be outside for an extended time. I wonder if I could one day get an implant to help me fight my Asperger's Syndrome and other mental setbacks. I'd love to have that...
Awesone one. I loved it.
So anyone can memorize the tone and know what colour is I don’t get what is incredible about this.
That’s what I was thinking. I mean he doesn’t actually see color. He just associates it. But some people are saying it’s induced synesthesia so I guess if you look at it in that way, yeah I guess its pretty cool. But I don’t know what it’s like not to have synesthesia. It’s normal and life is still life. Doesn’t change anything except what colors I pick.

El video me pareció muy interesante aunque al principio pensaba que no lo iba a entender ya que no entiendo muchos estos temas pero según pasa el discurso me sorprende mas ya que es increíble ver como algo que comenzó con una idea se convirtió en algo tan novedoso lo que mas me llama la atención personalmente ya que nunca me había puesto a pensar en las personas con daltonismo hasta ahora y como estas personas han tenido que lidiar con este problema como la idea de NEIL Harbison a este problema es verdaderamente única: transmite la percepción del color directamente al esqueleto a través del sonido por medio de la tecnología
What a whimsical little chap.
The guy at 6:59 must have had a hard day.
interesting video! loved it!!!
I had never thought about the problems people with color blindness face until I saw this video. I am concerned that some people have to endure this condition. Neil Harbison's solution to this problem is truly unique: he transmits color perception directly to the skeleton through sound. I think it's cool that you can hear the colors. I really admire Neil's courage in facing his illness and, most importantly, seeing his condition resolved and his life enriched by technology!
Fascinating!
I'm so very intrigued :) What happens if his hearing deteriorates? Transposing might be a massive problem, i'd think! I love this whole new look at perceptions and the plasticity of the human brain - truly amazing!
Nothing. He senses it through bone conduction, not through ears.
I’m not racist, some people just sound bad.
Es increíble ver cómo también existen distintas perspectivas de poder ver las cosas que nos rodean. Como cambia la visión de uno si tiene nuevos implementos. El saber que existe otra manera de poder apreciar los colores y, a su vez, crear otra perspectiva de otras cosas como la voz, las facciones del rostro, la música, películas, etc. La discapacidad del señor Harbisson abrió una puerta a algo que se desconocía. El busco la manera de poder también apreciar los colores y lo logro, es más, logro extender esta capacidad y la transformó en una oportunidad para que otras personas también podamos ampliar nuestros sentidos básicos y buscar una nueva función para estos.
Fascinating ideas!
When I saw this in my inbox:
"Oh, some synaesthete is going to talk about their condition. Ho hum."
After watching it:
"WAAA OMG OMG I want to hear colors!"

TheSPEEZY99 Because it's not
Third eyes are known for their work on reading people's minds, but his third eye is for reading colors and turning objects into colors
Fabulous!!!
Me parece muy increíble y un poco complicado creerlo pero al ver a Neil Harbisson como un artista cíborg, el cual amplía sus percepciones al permitirle "escuchar" colores. Nos permite obtener un enfoque tecnológico sobre una perspectiva única acerca de la integración de dispositivos sensoriales para mejorar diversas experiencias perceptuales humanas, abriendo cada vez nuevas posibilidades en la interfaz entre tecnología y neurociencia.
Lmaooo dude at 6:59 Passed out
😂😂😂😂😂
is this real?my skeptic senses are tingling
yup
It works just like a camera
RodneyBass74. ... Im also a skeptic.
The camera detects a color and does a frequency. He got induced associative synesthesia. He doesn’t literally see the color he just knows which color it is. With me I just know a violin is purple but I don’t see purple when I listen to a violin. That’s what this guy got.
Even tho this is a 7yr old comment i doubt this guy would go this far to fake it all 😭 hes literally got a passport with that on and old black n white pics
OMG, i have to support this guy !
Que charla motivadora que inspira a la gente que no hay límites ni discapacidad para ser capaces de ver y sentir la vida de una nueva perspectiva, me pareció muy interesante cuando comparo diversos discurso de personas conocidas y ver la diferencia de colores ante la comparación del otro.
This guy is awesome. I would love to see what food various songs are. And when he showed the two speeches, and when he said what the two were, I was able to guess which one was which based on the tonal changes. Even before, I liked MLK's speech more - maybe because I already knew which one was which :D
But I will leave on this note. Deus Ex.
i saw his clothing and it made me deaf...
El video es muy interesante, me encanta la idea de escuchar los colores. Siempre es fascinante conocer a personas que han adoptado una forma alternativa de ver o experimentar el mundo que no es muy común.
Este caso me ha resultado interesante. El hecho de cómo este hombre tuvo la determinación y el ingenio de poder encontrar una solución a su discapacidad es algo de admirar, como con la percepción de los sonidos es capaz de identificar colores e incluso como suenan las personas, comida, crear una percepción de todo lo que se encuentra a su alrededor, es algo simplemente fascinante, como este hombre pudo mejorar su calidad de vida con ese artefacto, dándonos a entender que muchas veces las limitaciones las ponemos nosotros, pues este hombre a pesar de su discapacidad logró usar la tecnología para poder expandir sus sentidos.
Can't sense a good hairstyle though
I think his hairstyling abilities are hindered by his antenna
i like his hairstyle it suits him
I think there's a reason nature separate all senses, like seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and smelling. What he experiences sounds good but I don't think I like walking on a street hearing EVERYTHING; cars, buses, people, AND I have to hear COLORS. That sounds confusing and annoying to my brain.
I guess you have never heard of synesthesia?
Catalunan and born in Northern Ireland this clever guy , based in New York , has made the disadvantage of his colour blindness make him be very creative indeed . Good for Neil .
These is amazing
I wonder what he hears when he goes to a concert?
man your the newest comment ive seen (ง ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)ง ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ (ó﹏ò｡) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°) ( ͡ಥ ͜ʖ ͡ಥ) ༼ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ༽ ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)
insane enough for me.
Muy agradecido por este video, cada dia se aprende algo nuevo y muy importante como él pudo convertir su discapacidad, en una forma de apreciar las cosas.
Es una idea interesante el poder ver la solución de un problema con una cosmovisión diferente que nadie lo hubiera imaginado, es increíble creer que 2 sentidos con diferentes actividades podrían trabajar juntos para percibir los que no están preparados naturalmente, el poder percibir colores mediante el uso de la audición es algo increíble además de que esto es posible gracias al avance tecnológico, es inspirador saber lo que el avance tecnológico y la creatividad de la gente puede lograr crear. Esperemos que en un futuro esto puedas seguir trayendo nuevas soluciones y esperanza a la gente en el futuro.
How does he know what part of his field of view he's listening to?
with practice he probably has found out
Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory" would love that.... becoming a cyborg :D
Observas a un hombre de carácter fuerte, confiado, capaz de cosas que no puede ver, y sin duda el único límite que existe entre lo "imposible" y nosotros somos nosotros mismos.
Esta conversación fue muy inspiradora.
Astounding!!
