    Stephen W. Porges (born 1945) is an American psychologist. He is the Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1] Porges is currently the Director of the Kinsey Institute Traumatic Stress Research Consortium at Indiana University Bloomington,[2] which studies trauma.

    He was previously a professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, where he was director of the Brain-Body Center at the College of Medicine, and at the University of Maryland.[citation needed]

    He proposed the still-unproven polyvagal theory in 1994, which is not endorsed by current social neuroscience.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

    Porges is currently a psychologist with interests in cranial nerve responses, particularly as they relate to both humans and animals.
