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
