Motion sickness occurs when the three parts of our body that sense movement— the eyes, inner ear, and sensory nerves send different signals to the brain at the same time. The eyes allow you to see that you’re moving, the nerves in the muscles and joints of your extremities allow you to feel that you’re moving, and the inner ear has canals with fluid that moves around and this allows the body to perceive motion. All of these send the sensory information to your brain, which then tells you that you are moving. Motion sickness typically occurs when only one or two of those centers sense you are moving but the other do not, so there’s a mismatch in communication to the brain.
Motion sickness happens when you look at your phone screen continuously, you don’t see movement, so your eyes tell your brain that you are still. But your body, specifically your inner ear which is in charge of maintaining your balance senses that you are moving and tells so to your brain. The contradictory messages makes your brain think that you are hallucinating, which means there are some toxins in your body. So it induces vomiting to get rid of the toxins.
