I feel most answers aren’t really satisfying because they all talk about sensory adaptation. Sure that is a thing and it’s interesting but i feel op wanted to know about the ‘further step’ where there is nothing going on in your brain at all it seems, like way more than your typical ”i don’t feel my clothes anymore-sensory adaptation” but more I’m not registering my vision, i’m not hearing when people talk to me, i’m not even thinking about a lot.
