Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DOwcerADAD3/If you’re a victim of motion sickness, listening to soft and joyful music will tamp down your nausea and discomfort.  This the result of Chinese study just published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.The researchers studied the reactions of 30 subjects in a simulated driving environment noting their subjective reactions and collecting neurophysiologic data.  After tabulation, the numbers revealed which tunes suppressed motion sickness.  The winner was soft music at 57.3% improvement closely followed by joyful music at 56.7%.  Less effective was passionate, stirring music at 48.3%,   with sad music coming in last at 40%.  The control group hearing no music enjoyed a 43.4% symptom reduction, better than listening to sad music.So if you feel a bout of motion sickness is impending, put in those ear buds or turn your auto music system to soft or joyous music.https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/human-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2025.1636109/full#motion #sickness #music #soft #joyous
