Many people feel nausea when they are moving – to ride a car, for example. Dean Burnett, a British neuroscientist, dedicated to the study of this phenomenon and wrote a book in which dubs our brain “idiot.” He concludes that our brain has not adapted to modern times

The unease that many people feel when they are in movement – traveling by car, train or another means of transport – was the subject of a study by the researcher from Cardiff University, Dean Burnett, who published a book called ‘the Idiot Brain’
it is not as rare as you think and occurs in different situations:. unexplained nausea or whose explanation has to do with something as normal as being in motion
nausea occurs in many people, for example when they will travel. And the reason for this malaise, according to neuroscientist Dean Burnett, due to confusion generated by the human brain, which is unable to distinguish whether we are standing or moving and sends signals wrong to stomach, as if to assume that the body is being poisoned (hence the following phenomenon: vomiting)
the confusion in the brain is generated because the body (in itself) is stopped without physical activity, but the landscape suggests exactly the opposite.. Other sensory activities, visual stimuli and balance, for example, assumes that the body moves when he is actually in perfect rest

Dean Burnett points out that the muscles remain relaxed, but eyes see movement. A part of the brain (the thalamus) receive signs of movement, which causes confusion in the brain, which assumes the presence of toxins or poisoning.
As a result, there is a nausea reaction, because the brain sends a message to the stomach, elimination of potentially hazardous substances.
“the only phenomena capable of causing sensory mismatch is a neurotoxin, or poison. Accordingly, the brain is to be assumed that the target poisoning. And the first reaction is to want to get rid of the poison, throwing up, “said Burnett, told The Telegraph.
This theory also helps the perception the sickness that occur when we look at a screen or when we read a book . At such times, the brain realizes that is moving, but gets the message that the body is stationary. It gets confusing.
Neuroscientist concludes that there is a brain inability to adapt to modern times. The jet lag is another example of Dean Burnett theory
