Nikki Wurnitsch
Hi!
I started in the Whitney Vision and Action Lab as an undergraduate
research assistant. I graduated in June 2008 from UC Davis with a BA
in
psychology and began working in the lab as a Junior Specialist/Lab
Manager. I am fascinated by the many ways in which the
external world is
represented throughout our visual system and love discovering the
mechanisms behind visual illusions, adaptation aftereffects as well as
object motion and tracking. I am currently working on a study
concerning object size and aftereffects.
The Whitney Lab Outreach program is another main focus of mine where I work directly with participating schools; scheduling and organizing exciting presentations. We successfully presented at our first school in May of 2009. If you are interested in having us come to your school, please check out the Whitney Lab Outreach website here. I can be contacted at nlwurnitsch@ucdavis.edu or (530) 297-4406.
