11. This represents the coordination of different sensory modalities . 12. Consequently, when attention is directed towards vision, the attentive mechanisms to other sensory modalities are reduced. 13. This stimulator ultimately stimulates a functioning sensory modality . 14. Posner and colleagues proposed that visual stimuli do not alert attention automatically, whereas other sensory modalities do. 15. Integration of all sensory modalities occurs when multimodal neurons receive sensory information which overlaps with different modalities. 16. The different kinds of sensation such as warmth, sound, and taste are called " sensory modalities ". 17. Additionally, it reflects the desire to exploit the associations between sensory modalities . ( See redundant modalities ). 18. In general, cattle use their sense of smell to expand on information detected by other sensory modalities . 19. Dreams contain multimodal pseudo-perceptions; sometimes any or all sensory modalities are present, but most often visual and motoric. 20. This mirrors communication with other sensory modalities , e . g . male frogs croak; male birds are usually colourful.
