Crossmodal correspondence refers to the tendency for certain sensory modalities to be non-arbitrarily linked, such as associating high-pitched sounds with bright colors or specific shapes. This phenomenon highlights the interconnectedness of sensory processing in the brain, suggesting that our perception is often a multisensory experience rather than isolated sensory inputs.

Sensory modalities refer to the different ways in which the human body perceives external stimuli through distinct sensory systems, such as vision, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.
