Why Is Donald B. Lindsley Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Donald Benjamin Lindsley was a physiological psychologist most known as a pioneer in the field of brain function study. Considered by his colleagues to have been worthy of winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology for discovering the reticular activating system along with Horace Winchell Magoun and Giuseppe Moruzzi, Lindsley was instrumental in demonstrating the use of electroencephalography in the study of brain function.
