LARS NORGAARD SURGERY: It took two months for the pain to go away after the implant was inserted
A CYBER-ENHANCED man who can download images and sound into his head from anywhere on Earth has said future cyborgs could 3D print themselves to discover the depths of space.
Neil Harbisson, 33, became the world’s first legally-recognised cyborg after he had an antenna fitted into the back of his head in 2004.

To be fitted with the implant doctors had to drill into his skull and allow the bone and antenna to merge. It took two months to heal.

Following the surgery the attachment has allowed Neil to see colour for the first time after being born colourblind and even download images and sound into his brain.

The sensation has led New York-based Neil to claim he has “eyes and ears in each continent”.
