Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory (APAL) director and kinesiology professor Thomas Stoffregen, Ph.D.,  was interviewed in The Atlantic article, “The Mysterious Science of Motion Sickness,” on February 17, 2015. The article identifies new research that makes efforts to understand how come some people feel nauseous on cars, boats, buses, and even carnival rides, while others do not.

Dr. Stoffregen describes his theory as an explanation for motion sickness, which involves a dissonance in “the relationship between postural movement and postural outcome.” Furthermore, Stoffregen also inspects evidence that susceptibility to motion sickness, “sway” specifically, can be accounted for by gender difference.
