What's going on? It appears that you've come down with motion sickness-a common
occurrence that affects many people. Basically, the complex human brain knows the
direction that we're going in by 18 our senses tell it. However, when we're sitting in a
moving vehicle, our brains get confused. The liquids in our ears and our eyes tell our brains
that we're moving, 19 our body is staying still. Therefore, the brain acts as if we were
poisoned, and it's in this situation that we have feelings of nausea.
If we want to keep motion sickness at bay, it's suggested that we sit facing the front of
the vehicle and maintain a steady 20 ahead without looking away. This helps the eyes
to recognize that we are moving, reducing the likelihood of motion sickness.
