Coordination of information that is picked up by different sensory modalities. For example, cross-modal coordination allows humans to recognize that a person’s face (visual modality) and voice (auditory modality) go together. There are cross-modal connections among all five sensory modalities (sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch).
