Seasickness

"Seasickness, or any motion sickness, is caused by stimulation of the nonauditory sense organs of the inner ear (the utricle and semicircular canals), which discharge a certain pattern of nerve impulses to the brain." - excerpt from the book, The Ocean Almanac, by Robert Hendrickson, Doubleday, 1984, pg. 344.
