The first implanted antenna was implanted in Neil Harbisson (UK), into the back of his skull, in 2004.
The antenna allows Neil to effectively 'hear colour' as the antenna converts light waves into sound waves and transmits this to Neil's inner ear. The antenna can also connect to the internet and receive telephone calls.
