Neil Harbisson, the son of an Irish father and Catalan mother, was born in London on 27 July 1982, and lived there until the family moved to Mataró, Catalonia. As a child, he had difficulty distinguishing between colours, and he was thought to be colour-blind. It was not until he was eleven years old that, after a series of eye tests, he was diagnosed with achromatopsy, an irreversible visual impairment preventing him from seeing any colours. Instead, he sees things in shades of grey.
