Projection refers to the brain's ability to locate the origin of a sensation. Contrast refers to the difference in intensity between two sensations. An after-image occurs when a sensation persists after the stimulus ends. Adaptation is when the brain becomes less responsive to a constant stimulus. Increasing intensity involves more receptors generating impulses. Adaptation can occur when there is no change for receptors to detect.
