One thing which worries the researchers is that standard driving simulators have a tendency to induce nausea, because they do not quite get their mimicry of the world correct and the sensory dissonance that induces upsets people’s balance.
Two questions:
1. What are the antecedents of They and Their?
2. What is the main subject of "and the sensory dissonance..."?
Appreciate your responses.

1. A simulator is a device that tries to present or replicate the same conditions that exist in nature.
The 'they' refers to the simulators ( not to researchers) and 'their' memory to the simulators’ memory. The antecedence of both is perfectly in order.
2. and the sensory dissonance that induces upsets people’s balance.
This is an independent clause. The subject is 'the sensory dissonance'. But the relative pronoun ‘that’ here refers to the simulators. When expanded, the sentence means to say: the sensory dissonance the simulators induce upsets peoples balance. Please note the verb for the singular dissonance is 'upsets', whereas since the pronoun ‘that’ refers to the plural 'simulators', its verb is the plural ‘induce’. Some might argue that the pronoun should have been ‘those’ actually instead of ‘that’ to denote the plural ‘simulators’. Their argument may be correct.

Hi,
firstly this does not seem to be a gmat Q....
Now on the two points..
1) 'the researchers' is in possesive form and 'standard driving simulators ' is in subjective form..
therefore, 'they',a subject pronoun can only refer to 'standard driving simulators '...
their is 'ambigious and can refer to any two..
2) the main subject for it could be --" standard driving simulators have a tendency to induce nausea" and the sensory dissonance that induces as a result of it(' standard driving simulators have a tendency to induce nausea') upsets peoples balance..
