Understanding Color Perception and Cyborg Technology

The speaker, born with achromatopsia, describes how he hears colors using an electronic eye. This device, developed with collaborators, translates color frequencies into sounds via bone conduction. Over time, he adapted to this sensory experience, integrating it into his identity and daily life. He discusses the impact on art perception, fashion, and food, and how he creates sound portraits. The speaker extended his color perception to include infrared and ultraviolet, founding the Cyborg Foundation to promote sensory extension. He envisions a future where technology enhances human senses.
