In other words, our perception is multimodal. This module provides an overview of multimodal perception, including information about its neurobiology and its psychological effects.

Observed by Galton in the 19th century, it appears in about 4% of the population and is often hereditary. Commonly, individuals experience colors associated with letters or sounds. The condition is stable over time for individuals, though different people may perceive different colors for the same stimuli. It can sometimes arise from sensory deprivation, leading to cross-activation in the brain.

This integration contrasts with traditional unimodal perception, where senses are considered separately. Research has shown that various sensory modalities are combined during perception, suggesting a fundamentally multimodal experience.

This mapping emphasizes areas with greater sensitivity, such as fingers and the face, while less sensitive areas occupy smaller cortical regions. Sensory processing begins in the primary sensory cortex and integrates into multimodal areas to create seamless perceptions.
