enbar says: A nicely done piece from the LAT on the phenomenon called "pareidolia," the perception of coherent images and patterns in otherwise random markings (e.g., seeing the Virgin Mary's face in a grilled cheese sandwich). A widespread phenomenon that may have an explanation in cognitive psychology. Boy, I am not seeing it in the chocolate at all. A similar phenomenon shows up in archaeology--natural phenomena and markings being taken as hitherto unknown writing, art, and architecture. A real "I want to Believe" urge. |
