Sensory adaptation is the process by which our brain cells become less sensitive to constant stimuli that are picked up by our senses. This process occurs for all the senses except for vision, which is the most important sense for humans. Sensory adaptation of vision is avoided through saccadic movements of the eye. Sensory adaptation is important for daily functioning because it allows our attention to be freed to detect new and/or important aspects of our environment without being distracted by aspects of it that are constantly there.
