Overview

Irwin Feinberg was affiliated with the University of California, Davis in the United States. Their research primarily focused on neuroscience and psychology, with an emphasis on cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, and psychiatry and mental health.

Their work extensively covered topics related to sleep and wakefulness research, sleep and related disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), EEG and brain-computer interfaces, and sleep and work-related fatigue.

Among the frequent venues where Feinberg published were:

  • SLEEP
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • SLEEP Advances

Feinberg contributed to a number of research papers in longitudinal sleep studies and the neurophysiological aspects of sleep in adolescents. Notable publications included:

  • Longitudinal Analysis of Sleep Spindle Maturation from Childhood through Late Adolescence, 2021, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Longitudinal assessment of NREM sleep EEG in typically developing and medication-free ADHD adolescents: first year results, 2021, Sleep Medicine
  • Effects of sleep restriction on the sleep electroencephalogram of adolescents, 2021, SLEEP
  • Sleep electroencephalogram evidence of delayed brain maturation in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a longitudinal study, 2022, SLEEP
  • Sleep restriction and age effects on waking alpha EEG activity in adolescents, 2022, SLEEP Advances

The research collaborations of Feinberg often involved coauthors such as Ian G. Campbell, Nato Darchia, Marine Eliozishvili, Tinatin Tchintcharauli, and Irine Sakhelashvili. This network contributed to the longitudinal and clinical studies related to adolescent sleep patterns and ADHD.
