  • 2004 - Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Overview

Kalanit Grill-Spector is affiliated with Stanford University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of neuroscience and medicine, with an emphasis on subfields such as cognitive neuroscience, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, computer vision and pattern recognition, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, and experimental and cognitive psychology.

The main topics of their work cover various aspects of visual perception and processing mechanisms, neural dynamics and brain function, face recognition and perception, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, functional brain connectivity studies, advanced MRI techniques and applications, and neural and behavioral psychology studies.

Recent publications showcase a range of research contributions, including:

  • A Probabilistic Functional Atlas of Human Occipito-Temporal Visual Cortex (2020, Cerebral Cortex)
  • White matter myelination during early infancy is linked to spatial gradients and myelin content at birth (2022, Nature Communications)
  • Cortical recycling in high-level visual cortex during childhood development (2021, Nature Human Behaviour)
  • Differential spatial computations in ventral and lateral face-selective regions are scaffolded by structural connections (2021, Nature Communications)
  • Sulcal Depth in the Medial Ventral Temporal Cortex Predicts the Location of a Place-Selective Region in Macaques, Children, and Adults (2020, Cerebral Cortex)

The scientist has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Mareike Grotheer, Vaidehi Natu, Dawn Finzi, Jesse Gomez, and Holly Kular. Their work has been published predominantly in key venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Vision, Cerebral Cortex, Nature Communications, and the 2022 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience.

Kalanit Grill-Spector has also contributed to book publications, including the title Vision and Perception, published by Open Agenda Publishing eBooks in 2020.

Their contributions to the scientific community have been recognized with the award of Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2004.
