If a match is detected then there is no change in the response of the body and
homeostasis is maintained. However, if mismatch is detected, then this can trig-
ger motion sickness symptoms, but it also updates the memory. Over time, the
memory will become updated such that eventually, when the brain receives such a
combination of sensory signals, these are matched with an expected combination
of sensory inputs. Once this occurs, the trigger for motion sickness is removed,
and the response to the previously nauseogenic stimuli is homeostasis. This habit-
uation can take several weeks of
