Biografia:

Harvey B. Lindsley was an American photographer born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1922. He died in 2004. He is best known for his iconic photograph of Harriet Tubman, a leading abolitionist and political activist who escaped slavery and helped hundreds of enslaved people to freedom in the United States via the Underground Railroad. The photograph was taken in the late 1800s and has since become one of the most famous images of Tubman. Lindsley was also a pioneer in the field of brain function study and is 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 (Tid) Magoun and Giuseppe Moruzzi. He was instrumental in demonstrating the use of electroencephalography (EEG) in the study of brain function.
