Kalanit Grill-Spector is a Professor in Psychology and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford where she has an an active & diverse lab.
Her research examines how the brain processes visual information and perceives it. She uses neuroimaging techniques to visualize the living brain in action and understand how it recognizes people, objects and places. Additionally, she investigates how the anatomical and functional properties of the brain change from infancy to childhood to adulthood, and how this development is related to improved visual recognition abilities.
She received her PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and was a postdoctoral fellow in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT before joining Stanford University. She has received several awards and honors including the Human Sciences Frontier Fellowship, the Sloan Fellowship, and the Klingenstein Fellowship in Neuroscience. She has served as an editor for the Journal of Vision and Neuropsychologia.
