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.
