 Neil Harbisson (born 27 July 1984) is a Spanish-born British-Irish cyborg artist and activist for transpecies rights based in New York City.[citation needed] He is best known for being the first person in the world with an antenna implanted in his skulland for being legally recognised as a cyborg by a government. His antenna sends audible vibrations through his skull to report information to him. This includes measurements of electromagnetic radiation, phone calls, and music, as well as videos or images which are translated into audible vibrations.His WiFi-enabled antenna also allows him to receive signals and data from satellites.


Since 2004, international media has described him as the world's first cyborg or the world's first cyborg artist. In 2010, he co-founded the Cyborg Foundation, an international organisation that defends cyborg rights, promotes cyborg art and supports people who want to become cyborgs. In 2017, he co-founded the Transpecies Society, an association that gives voice to people with non-human identities, raises awareness of the challenges transpecies face, advocates for the freedom of self-design and offers the development of new senses and organs in community.
