Christian Gerlach is a faculty member at Aalborg University in Denmark, focusing on research in visual cognition, learning processes, and knowledge organization. His academic work examines both neurotypical and neurodiverse populations, particularly those with developmental conditions and brain injuries. Utilizing traditional experimental methods, cognitive psychology, and functional imaging, he has contributed to the understanding of visual object recognition through his PACE theory, which integrates extensive empirical evidence from neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, and neurology. This framework addresses how objects, both natural and artifacts, are categorized and recognized differently by neurologically intact subjects and brain-damaged patients. His work includes exploring the complexities of visual similarity and complexity associated with classical object recognition paradigms. Gerlach’s expertise aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing especially on the intersection between visual object processing and cognitive psychology, including conditions such as developmental prosopagnosia.
