Neil Harbisson (born 27 July 1982) is a
Catalan-raised, British-born
contemporary artist and
cyborg activist based in
New York. He is best known for being the first person in the world with an
antenna implanted in his skull and for being officially recognized as a cyborg by a government. His
antenna uses 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 sound. His wifi enabled antenna also allows him to receive signals and data from satellites.
