People can sense Earth’s magnetic field, brain waves suggest

Aren't EEG caps full of wires and other metal components? If so, then this study reads like an onion article.

Weak, slowly-changing magnetic fields have no noticeable effect on "wires and other metal components". Have you ever noticed effects of the earth's magnetic field on your earbuds? No? Why not?

I imagine the machines are also quite loud, which would be sensory input. I haven't read the paper, but I wonder how they handle that.

No, they aren't. You might be thinking of MRI machines. Or bulldozers. Or something.
