Scientists Say Joyful Music Might Help Ease Motion Sickness

Nice News -  Next time a wave of motion sickness hits, you might want to turn on “Dancing Queen,” “Hey Ya!” — or whatever upbeat song is sure to bring you joy. According to a study published this week, playing cheerful music can cut nausea symptoms by more than half, providing a nondrug alternative for easing motion sickness (which also means avoiding medication side effects like dizziness and drowsiness)....

Interestingly, sad music was the least effective — participants were better off listening to nothing — so we don’t recommend turning on any of these songs. The takeaway: “Music represents a noninvasive, low-cost, and personalized intervention strategy,” researcher Qizong Yue said in a statement.
