Neil Harbisson Biography

Neil Harbisson (born 27 July 1984) is a Catalan-raised, British-born cyborg artist and transpecies activist based in New York City. He is best known for being the first person in the world with an antenna implanted in his skull and for his claim to be the first cyborg legally recognized by a government. His antenna sends audible vibrations in his skull to report information to him. This includes measurements of electromagnetic radiation, phone calls, music, as well as video or images which are translated into audible vibrations. His wifi enabled antenna also allows him to receive signals and data from satellites.
