    How do you know when you’re feeling hungry or thirsty? One option is just going about your day, busy busy, and all of a sudden you notice an intense sensation coming from your stomach. Right? Another option is when you are feeling anxious or angry or any other emotion, you use that as a cue to send a transmission to your stomach asking a question. Imagine you can somehow encode a signal that contains the data packet: “status?” and visualize it traveling down whatever pathway it wants from your brain to your stomach. Report back here the data that gets sent back.
