Cross-modal matching refers to the ability to recognize objects presented in two different sensory modalities. For example, an object presented visually could be discriminated using touch, or a photograph of a familiar person could be identified from a recording of their voice. Cross-modal perception is believed to recruit activity in polysensory cortex.
