Boost the Brightness, But Turn Down the Volume: Cross-Modal Compensation For Meta-Sensory Homeostasis
We demonstrate that individuals exposed to sensory stimuli sufficiently above their optimal homeostatic level in one sensory mode (e.g., audition) seek under-stimulation in other sensory modes (e.g., vision, olfaction) in order to achieve meta-sensory balance, and this has meaningful behavioral consequences on consumer choices and evaluations.
