Neural adaptation (aka habituation) in fMRI occurs when the same object is presented to someone repeatedly, which results in decreases of neural activation with each repetition of that object.Interestingly, showing a picture of a real apple several times and then showing a drawing of an apple continues to elicit decreasing activation with each presentation despite these variations.This is an example of:

Form-cue invariance refers to the brain's ability to recognize objects regardless of variations in their presentation, such as changes in form or appearance. The example given, where neural activation decreases with repeated presentations of an object despite changes in its form (from a real apple to a drawing of an apple), illustrates this concept.
