6、 heaving of the chair; using that technique, the time until onset of nausea was 50% longer than during normal breathing. 【 R7】 _Abdominal sensors are known to send motion signals to the brain more slowly than those in the inner ear because theyre farther away from the brain and because abdominal org

7、ans have more mass, which means they resist movement a tiny bit longer.【 R8】 _But if the diaphragm opposes gravity-induced stomach motions with controlled breaths, there is less sensory conflict and less nausea. “This technique is very good for mild everyday challenges,“ says medical research scient

8、ist Michael Gresty, a member of the study team. “Its completely safe, and its not a drug.“ A. But if the subjects exhaled on every backward tilt, they didnt get sick as quickly. B. As long as all of these sensors send matching signals to the brain, we feel oriented. C. Now theres one more remedy: ti

9、ming your breathing to counteract the nauseating motion. D. So why do these tactics work? E. The brain is traditionally thought to sense body position in three ways. F. The time lag between the two types of sensors creates a mismatch that builds up in the brain and makes us gradually sicker, the res
