Let us introduce: motion sickness, in other words, that annoying guest who undermines the travel experience.
Making the travel experience nauseating this unpleasant guest, and some people never visit. If you feel nauseous during the trip, we recommend that you take into account what we have to say.
Most people read books and use their phones while traveling. Some people just close their eyes because they feel nauseous.
We don’t know which side you’re on, but… motion sickness Anyone who has experienced this condition, also known as this, knows how bad it feels. There are also a number of solutions spreading on social media, ranging from the method of sticking a patch on the navel to drinking gasoline.
These are just Placebo effect Let us tell you the real reason right away.
Scientists consider two main theories on this topic: sensory conflict and postural control.
According to sensory conflict theory motion sicknessIt arises from the conflict between the information given to us by the vestibular organ of our inner ear and the vision our eyes see. In other words, our brain hears the message our inner ear gives when the car is moving: “There is movement!” As we receive the signal, our eyes see that we are standing where we are currently sitting.
When the brain cannot understand this conflict, unpleasant side effects such as nausea and vomiting also comes up. All you can do is reduce the mismatch in sensory information as much as possible.
The discrepancy between what you see and what you feel sends the wrong signal to the brain.
Usually in such a situation focusing on non-moving objects You may have heard that it minimizes dizziness, this is the best thing you can do.
The second theory concerns postural control. According to some, nausea and dizzinessmay be due to our body’s lack of ability to predict vehicle movements and respond accordingly.
So just like drivers While it is better at predicting vehicle movements Passengers are slightly weaker in this regard. If you want to make your trip as pleasant as possible, it is best to sit back and enjoy the view from the window, rather than doing anything.
