Why do we get car sickness?
In: 2
When the signals from your inner sense of balance conflicts with the information from your eyes, it causes a conflict in your brain which causes the nausea.
For example, when you’re in a driving car, your sense of balance tells you the car is making all sorts of turns, motions, and accelerating / stopping forces that you sense. But if you are staring at your phone with your head down and all you see is the cars interior your eyes don’t notice any movement. So you get carsick.
If you were to stare out the window you’d be much less likely to get sick because the signals from your eyes and sense of balance would match.
