=== Behavioral measures === Behavioral measures to decrease motion sickness include holding the head still and lying on the back.<ref name=Gold2016/> Focusing on the horizon may also be useful.<ref name=Stat2019/> Listening to music, mindful breathing, being the driver, and not reading while moving are other techniques.<ref name=Stat2019/> [[Habituation]] is the most effective technique but requires significant time.<ref name=Stat2019/> It is often used by the military for pilots.<ref name=Stat2019/> These techniques must be carried out at least every week to retain effectiveness.<ref name=Stat2019/> A head-worn, computer device with a transparent display can be used to mitigate the effects of motion sickness (and [[spatial disorientation]]) if visual indicators of the wearer's head position are shown.<ref name="pmid21181963"/> Such a device functions by providing the wearer with digital reference lines in their field of vision that indicate the horizon's position relative to the user's head. This is accomplished by combining readings from [[accelerometers]] and [[gyroscopes]] mounted in the device. This technology has been implemented in both standalone devices<ref name="biz"/> and [[Google Glass]].<ref name="BCM"/><ref name="glass"/> One promising looking treatment is to wear LCD shutter glasses that create a [[Stroboscopic effect|stroboscopic]] vision of 4 Hz with a dwell of 10 milliseconds.<ref name="ntrs" >{{cite journal |last1=Reschke |first1=MF |last2=Somers |first2=JT |last3=Ford |first3=G |title=Stroboscopic vision as a treatment for motion sickness: strobe lighting vs. shutter glasses. |journal=Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine |date=January 2006 |volume=77 |issue=1 |pages=2β7 |pmid=16422446}}</ref>
