Are you one of those who when you are on your cell phone or reading in the car, train, any means of transportation, you get distracted and confused? If so, you're not alone, and there's a reason for that. This is called "motion sickness", which occurs when there is a ambiguity between the sensory perceptions received by the body.

For example, when we read or write in a quiet environment, the visual system focuses on the text while our body does not perceive any movement. However, when reading in a moving machine, the visual system perceives the words on the page as moving. This "mismatch" causes symptoms of nausea, as well as headaches.

Which means that since the eyes are fixed on a static page, the visual system informs the brain that the body is stationary, leading to a sensory mismatch.

This mismatch interferes with the brain's ability to properly integrate and interpret sensory information, ultimately leading to symptoms of nausea at varying rates. These symptoms can include nausea, dizziness, headache, sweating and sometimes vomiting. The severity of these symptoms can vary from person to person.
