About
Charles Tijus is a cognitive scientist whose research bridges perception, emotion, and neurodevelopmental disorders. His work centers on how individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) process visual and emotional information, with a particular focus on low-functioning adolescents. Tijus’s most cited study, “Morphing technique reveals intact perception of object motion and disturbed perception of emotional expressions by low-functioning adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder” (2015, 11 citations), demonstrates a key contribution: using morphing technology to dissect perceptual abilities. He showed that while these adolescents perceive object motion normally, their ability to interpret emotional expressions is impaired—a finding that refines understanding of social cognition in ASD. This work has influenced both clinical assessment tools and educational interventions. Tijus’s research is notable for its methodological innovation, applying precise visual stimuli to isolate cognitive processes. His findings underscore the specificity of perceptual deficits in autism, offering pathways for targeted support. With a career dedicated to unraveling the complexities of human perception, Tijus continues to shape how we understand the intersection of vision, emotion, and neurodiversity.
