Cannon-Bard theory
An emotion theory developed by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard in 1927/1928 which, in contrast to the James-Lange theory of 1884/85, assumes that emotions are independent of emotional expression and arise through the thalamus. This means that when there is a loud bang, the subjective feeling of fear occurs in parallel with trembling or a racing heart, not as a result of each other. It is also known as the "thalamic theory of emotion."
