interaction between the subcortical/cortical sensory pathways
“Modal” refers to the modularity of cortical/subcortical structures and their neural pathways.
“Crossmodal” describes the interaction between the cortical/subcortical modules of the brain (between the various sensory perception areas of the cerebral cortex). This is what “crossmodal research” studies, e.g. modal switching, ways in which sensory stimuli are processed and transmitted by neurons to other perception areas, etc. In your case this could mean the way a person responds to physical or emotional stimuli, the reactions elicited, any feelings/reactions associated with/triggered by certain events or stimuli, etc.
Compare with “ipsimodal”, “intermodal”, “intramodal”.
