Overview

Samuel Wiebe is affiliated with the University of Calgary in Canada and specializes in medicine, with a focus on psychiatry and mental health, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, genetics, cognitive neuroscience, and cellular and molecular neuroscience. Their research centers primarily on epilepsy research and treatment, pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, and neuroscience and neuropharmacology research. Additional topics include EEG and brain-computer interfaces, health systems, economic evaluations, quality of life, genomics and rare diseases, and functional brain connectivity studies.

They have published extensively in several academic journals, frequently contributing to:

  • Epilepsia
  • Epileptic Disorders
  • Epilepsy & Behavior
  • JAMA Neurology
  • Neurology

Recent notable papers by Samuel Wiebe include:

  • International League Against Epilepsy classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in childhood: Position paper by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia
  • ILAE classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in neonates and infants: Position statement by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia
  • ILAE definition of the Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy Syndromes: Position statement by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia
  • The ILAE consensus classification of focal cortical dysplasia: An update proposed by an ad hoc task force of the ILAE diagnostic methods commission, 2022, Epilepsia
  • Methodology for classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with list of syndromes: Report of the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia

They have collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:

  • Colin B. Josephson
  • Tolulope T. Sajobi
  • J. Helen Cross
  • Jo M. Wilmshurst
  • Eugen Trinka

Samuel Wiebe's research contributions span various subfields such as psychiatry and mental health, and pediatric specialties, with a strong emphasis on epilepsy syndromes classifications, pharmacological research, and neurological diagnostics. Their work has involved participation in defining epilepsy classifications and nosology through collaborative task forces, particularly with the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).
