英国色盲艺术家大脑植入芯片“听”颜色

尼尔所佩戴的机械天线“电子眼”，看上去就像一端带有摄像头、另一端植入头盖骨的长管。由于每种颜色都有一个不同的频率，所以尼尔能够辨别不同的图像、画作或脸庞（每种图像的声音都不同）。

In fact, he can even hear colors that the human eye cannot perceive, like infrared and ultraviolet. And the reverse is also true – he is able to make color paintings of the voices of personalities like Hitler and Martin Luther King. He doesn’t even have to actually look at the colors. The images can be sent directly from his mobile phone to a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connector inside the chip. It’s actually unbelievable – Neil is the first person in the world who can experience an image without actually looking at it.

事实上，他甚至能听到人眼无法识别的颜色，如红外线和紫外线。“听声音”的逆过程也是可以实现的，他可以根据人物声音，比如希特勒和马丁·路德·金的声音，画出彩色画。他甚至不用看颜色，这些图像可以通过他的手机直接发送到芯片内部的无线或蓝牙。在该仪器的帮助下，尼尔成为世界上第一个不用看就可以感觉到图像的人。

The implantation of the chip was done in a series of surgeries that took place between December and March in Barcelona. Neil said that the eyeborg has now become such an integral part of his identity that he even convinced authorities to let him take his passport photograph with it.
