Submodalities
The fine-grained qualities of internal representations: brightness, distance, volume, location, etc.
Submodalities are how internal representations differ from each other. Visual submodalities include brightness, size, distance, color vs black-and-white, focus, location. Auditory submodalities include volume, tempo, tone, direction. Changing submodalities changes how the experience feels: dimming a stressful image often dims the stress.
