Multisensory And Cross-Modal Effects

A perceptual phenomenon that arises from the combination or interaction of more than one sense, or from a sensation properly belonging to one sensory channel, such as taste, smell or touch, that does not fit the atlas's other more visually or aurally centered perception groups. This group gathers the multisensory and cross-modal perception phenomena recorded for this atlas, covering documented effects in how the senses combine or cross over, and standalone taste, smell and touch phenomena recorded for this subcategory.
