Neil Harbisson

Harbisson was born with a condition called achromatopsia that allows him to only see in gray-scale. He has a specialized electronic eye that allows him to hear perceived colors as sounds on the musical scale. An antenna is implanted in his skull that allows him to receive the sounds and phone calls directly into his head.
