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,[1][2] a technique useful for studying the sensitivity of neurons in the brain to changes of a stimulus.

Life
editGrill-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.[3]
Achievements and awards
editGrill-Spector has received several fellowships including Human Sciences Frontier Fellowship, the Sloan Fellowship, and the Klingenstein Fellowship in Neuroscience.[4] She has also served as an Editor for the Journal of Vision (2008–2012)[5] and Neuropsychologia (2016–2018).
