Motion sickness (also known as car sickness, sea sickness, air sickness) occurs when two "motion messages" to the brain conflict. One "motion message" comes from the inner ear that controls balance and another "motion message" comes from the eyes. During changes in position caused by travel, these two "motion messages" conflict thereby causing motion sickness.
Motion sickness is usually caused by riding in a car, boat, airplane or any other passive locomotion.
Motion sickness can also be caused by motion in the visual surroundings while standing still (viewing a large screen movie that contains significant motion).
