1958 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Psychiatry

Wilse B. Webb focuses on Sleep in non-human animals, Audiology, Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Slow-wave sleep and Electroencephalography. His Sleep in non-human animals study deals with the bigger picture of Neuroscience. His Audiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Morning, Sleep deprivation, Rapid eye movement sleep, Developmental psychology and Personality.

When carried out as part of a general Developmental psychology research project, his work on Young adult is frequently linked to work in Population, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Non-rapid eye movement sleep research includes elements of Sleep patterns and Sleep eeg. His Slow-wave sleep research integrates issues from Wakefulness, Affect, Time course and Circadian rhythm.

His most cited work include:

  • SLEEP PATTERNS IN YOUNG ADULTS: AN EEG STUDY. (225 citations)
  • Stage 4 Sleep: Influence of Time Course Variables (195 citations)
  • Sleep Apnea Syndrome* A Critical Review of the Apnea Index as a Diagnostic Criterion (187 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Sleep in non-human animals, Audiology, Developmental psychology, Electroencephalography and Non-rapid eye movement sleep. As a part of the same scientific family, Wilse B. Webb mostly works in the field of Sleep in non-human animals, focusing on Anesthesia and, on occasion, Sleep period. He usually deals with Audiology and limits it to topics linked to Circadian rhythm and Rhythm.

As part of his studies on Developmental psychology, Wilse B. Webb frequently links adjacent subjects like Arousal. In most of his Electroencephalography studies, his work intersects topics such as Sleep onset. His Sleep deprivation study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sleep in non-human animals (56.74%)
  • Audiology (36.88%)
  • Developmental psychology (18.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1981-2010)?

  • Sleep in non-human animals (56.74%)
  • Audiology (36.88%)
  • Developmental psychology (18.44%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Wilse B. Webb mostly deals with Sleep in non-human animals, Audiology, Developmental psychology, Sleep deprivation and Psychoanalysis. His work in Sleep in non-human animals is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Clinical psychology. His research in Audiology intersects with topics in Sleep debt, Non-rapid eye movement sleep and Categorical variable.

His Non-rapid eye movement sleep research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wakefulness, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Developmental psychology research incorporates themes from Arousal, Circadian rhythm and Electroencephalography. His biological study deals with issues like Vigilance, which deal with fields such as Nap, Morning, Medical emergency and Total sleep deprivation.

Between 1981 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Sleep Apnea Syndrome* A Critical Review of the Apnea Index as a Diagnostic Criterion (187 citations)
  • Biological rhythms, sleep, and performance (110 citations)
  • Nocturnal hypoxia and neuropsychological variables. (96 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Psychiatry

Wilse B. Webb mainly focuses on Sleep in non-human animals, Audiology, Developmental psychology, Sleep deprivation and Young adult. His Slow-wave sleep study in the realm of Sleep in non-human animals connects with subjects such as Extant taxon. His work carried out in the field of Audiology brings together such families of science as Sleep debt, Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Consistency, Respiratory system and Nocturnal.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chronotype, Sleep patterns and Sleep Stages. The Nonverbal communication research he does as part of his general Developmental psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Lung disease, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Young adult research includes themes of Total sleep deprivation, Vigilance, Eye movement and Medical emergency.
