2 Skim the text quickly and write a suitable title for it.

3 Read the text. Then answer the following questions.


Artist Neil Harbisson is completely colour-blind. Here, he explains
how a camera attached to his head allows him to hear colour.
15 February 2012
Until I was 11, I didn’t know I could only see in shades of grey. I thought I could see colours but that
5 I was confusing them.
When I was diagnosed with achromatopsia (a rare vision disorder), it was a bit of a shock but at least we
knew what was wrong. Doctors said it was impossible to cure.
When I was 16, I decided to study art. I told my tutor I could only see in black and white, and his first reaction
was, “What the hell are you doing here then?” I told him I really wanted to understand what colour was.
10 I was allowed to do the entire art course in greyscale — only using black and white. I did very figurative art,
trying to reproduce what I could see so that people could compare my vision with what they saw. I also learnt
that through history, there have been many people who have related colour to sound.
at university I went to a cybernetics lecture by adam Montandon, and I asked him if it was possible to create
something so that I could see colour. he came up with a simple device, made up of a webcam, a computer and
15 a pair of headphones and created software that would translate any colour in front of me into a sound.

If we were all to hear the frequency of red, for example, we would hear a note that is in between F and F
sharp. red is the lowest frequency colour and the highest is violet.
I started using it 24 hours a day, carrying it around in a backpack and feeling that the cybernetic device, the
eyeborg, and my organism were completely connected. I haven’t taken it off my head since 2004, except to
20 change the equipment when it breaks down.

It looks like an antenna that comes out from my head and goes up to the front of my face. at the back of
my head there’s a chip which transforms the light waves into sound, and I hear the colours, not through my ears
but through my bone structure.
at the beginning I had some strong headaches because of the constant input of sound, but after five weeks
25 my brain adapted to it, and I started to relate music and real sound to colour.

at the moment, I can see 360 colours and I have extended this to infrared so I can hear colours that human
eyes cannot see. My favourite colour is aubergine. It looks black but it is actually violet or purple, and it sounds
very high-pitched.
