Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Cannon-Bard theory states that the lower part of the brain, also called the thalamus, controls your experience of emotion. At the same time, the higher part of the brain, also called the cortex, controls the expression of emotion. It is believed that these two parts of the brain react simultaneously.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Cannon-Bard theory of emotions states that you experience emotional and physical responses to stimuli independently but at the same time, and that the thalamus is the main actor in this process.
