Perception = sensation + interpretation

JND = minimal amount of change needed to just be noted

Sensory adaptation = not noticing a repeated/continuous stimulus after a period of time.

I searched Google under the key words "JND adaptation sensation perception" to get this:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
