So in my prevous post, I talked about people who see colours that don't exist; here I'm gonna talk about people who can't see any. I'm struggling today because my fingers are freezeing so that's cool.
Wiki drops it like:
"Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Simple tasks such as selecting ripe fruit, choosing clothing, and reading traffic lights can be more challenging.Color blindness may also make some educational activities more difficult.However, problems are generally minor, and most people find that they can adapt. People with total color blindness (achromatopsia) may also have decreased visual acuity and be uncomfortable in bright environments."
I would like to talk about Neil Harbisson, an artist who is completley colour blind that has an antenna implanted in his skull, that sends different pitches through the bone depending on what colour he places in front of it.
Here's the TED Talk:
I found the contrast between seen colour from sound, and hearing sound from colour really interesting.
