Hello! I am Nikolay (Nick) Nichiporuk and am a Research Assistant with Dr. Arvind Chandna. My primary responsibilities include using behavioral (visual acuity tests) and neural (EEG, SSVEP) methods to study children and adults with cerebral visual impairment, amblyopia, and strabismus. My big goal is to use research findings to inform treatment options for children, so their (and their parents!) quality of life can be improved.
