Original Toronto Star caption: Bumpy ride at the Ex on the Jumbo Jet may fool your brian into thinking you've been food-poisoned - according to one British scientist's theory. Canadian motion sickness expert Kenneth Money of the Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine at Downsview says Michel Treisman's theory makes sense to him. Symptoms of motion sickness like nausea; vomitting are similar to those that tell the brain you've got food poisoning; according to Treisman. Conflicting information from eyes; ears (the organ of balance); muscles and joints in motion can confuse the brain.
