Haven't read the article for reasons, but I find it difficult to believe. There are tricks to get us to see colors that we are otherwise incapable of perceiving due to our eyes, but they are very much edge cases and rely on afterimages or having the brain do the math instead of the rods and cones.

So how does this work?

It's using false colors like we do with images from telescopes that are outside our visual range. So we're not seeing it as they do, the camera is and can represent the color to us.
