It continuously attempts to detect potential dangers in the environment early on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hypersensitive visual system: To detect this perceived danger in time, the brain ramps up visual perception to full speed. The eyes scan tirelessly for every movement, every shelf and every light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misinterpretation of harmless stimuli: Because the sensory filter is overloaded, the nervous system classifies even completely normal sensory impressions as a threat. This incorrect assessment directly causes dizziness and vertigo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typical trigger zones: Anywhere where many people are on the move and there is constant movement, such as in a shopping center or at the train station, the system becomes overwhelmed with stimuli.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Targeted desensitization: The brain can learn to classify visual stimuli as safe again.
