William James became aware of physiological responses to emotions in 1884 and published his work in Mind. This notion brought on information about the autonomic nervous system being responsible for what we feel emotionally.

The theory that proposed this idea is called the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion. According to this theory, emotions and physiological responses occur simultaneously but independently, with emotions resulting from the brain's interpretation of the physiological response.

Emotions.
One advantage of the Cannon-Bard theory is that it emphasizes the simultaneous experience of emotions and physiological responses, which suggests that emotions can be generated independently of physiological changes. This helps to explain instances where we may experience emotions without distinct bodily reactions.
The Schachter-Singer theory proposes that emotions result from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation of that arousal. This theory differs from James-Lange theory, which states that emotions arise from physiological reactions to stimuli, and Cannon-Bard theory, which suggests that physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously yet independently.

motives
Hunger drive is most closely associated with the physiological need for nutrients in the body, particularly when blood sugar levels drop. Hormones like ghrelin and leptin play a role in regulating hunger and signaling our brain when to eat. Psychological factors, such as stress or emotions, can also contribute to feelings of hunger, even in the absence of a physical need for food.
