Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EEG uses electrodes on the scalp to measure electrophysiological activity from the brain, providing valuable information about the time course of neural processing. While EEG measures electrical activity from neurons, MEG measures weak electromagnetic fields generated by the human brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory adaptation is a reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The leading explanation: signal detection theory, which at its most basic, states that the detection of a stimulus depends on both the intensity of the stimulus and the physical/psychological state of the individual.

Detailed explanation-4: -Perception: the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.
