Playing video games makes me sick
why some people experience motion sickness symptoms after only 30 minutes of play
My workplace - and perhaps yours, or your student house, or wherever you are - is full of fatigue, watery eyes people. Their conversation is about the number of deaths last night, the weapons used, and held. They are obviously not criminals, but they were late at night to play the first game of the ultimate success shooter, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Stores open at midnight, in November on the winding queues MW3, as will now be known, offered for sale. Sixteen days later, the target was $ 1 billion (£ 640m) in record time, but it will be on many Christmas lists and I am insanely jealous because I can not play
It's not because I do not have a game console required or do not like shooting people in them. (What I have and I do.) But after only 30 minutes to play, I have to run to the bathroom to vomit. I am not alone, either. Although there is little research on video games and the so-called "simulation sickness", it is estimated that between 10% and 50% of people may experience varying degrees. For me it was caused by the first time I played as a game, the PlayStation classic Doom in 1995. A wave of nausea similar to that experienced in the back of the car as a passenger under, I had to pull the plug. However, although the games are softer and more sophisticated, it has not improved, and the game is still closed for me.
The most commonly accepted what happens when people feel sick to computer games is that the virtual world of providing the illusion of movement - if your avatar to the screen is the walking, running or driving a car - but the inner ear of the players did not detect any movement, for example. Part of the brain that controls vomiting - the area postrema - it seems that this disconnect is the result of hallucinations, and how this can be caused by poisoning, attempts to get the body is purged by vomiting. Most research in this area is of a military nature, such as modern warfare depends heavily on simulation for training. While they were not playing games on Xbox 360, U. S. Army Research Institute for Social and Behavioral Sciences have also studied the flight simulators and found that less than half of the drivers they have reported symptoms similar to motion sickness.
- So how can I participate? Dr Louisa Murdin, who recently published a study on the scientific evidence for motion sickness for the British Medical Journal, reports: "The choice is between" addiction ", which means building tolerance, starting with short exposures to stimuli provocative, then gradually increasing the longest and drugs that suppress the symptoms but can have side effects Both are effective, but there are advantages and disadvantages of each "I decided to try three remedies most frequently recommended ..:. A commonly used car Stroke Medicine, Joy-Rides, Travel, a homeopathic remedy and relief wrist band
- Joy-Rides taken as a child, and the first memories of car trips are not diseased seeds available. The active ingredient hyoscine hydrobromide, which is supposed to target the parts of the brain that tell the stomach of motion sickness. Take two 20 minutes before your trip, what I did. They are usually about 30 minutes before the game became too sick, this time from 74 minutes before having to turn it off. Exciting hour and a quarter, I thought I had found my answer, but then had to stop taking the virtual villains and finally started my stomach trouble.
