Kalanit Grill-Spector (Hebrew: כלנית גריל-ספקטור) is a professor of Psychology at Stanford University and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University. She is best known for developing fMRI adaptation, a technique useful for studying the sensitivity of neurons in the brain to changes of a stimulus.

Life

Grill-Spector studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev from 1987 to 1990. In 1994, she continued her studies at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where she gained a PhD in 1999. From 1999 to 2001 she worked as a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before she followed an invitation to Stanford University, where she teaches now.

Achievements and awards

Grill-Spector has received several fellowships including Human Sciences Frontier Fellowship, the Sloan Fellowship, and the Klingenstein Fellowship in Neuroscience. She has also served as an Editor for the Journal of Vision (2008–2012) and Neuropsychologia (2016–2018).
