Have some fun and see if you can find the faces in these photos. My favorite is the face of the dog in the clouds. Which is yours?

Pareidolia is a Cognitive Illusion
Pareidolia is a the tendency to see faces in inanimate objects. This neuropsychological phenomenon is sometimes called a cognitive illusion - whereby our eyes see something and our mind interprets its structure. The result is the experience of seeing something that really is not there.

Such fun!
Love pic #1.
I have a picture somewhere in my old computer where I saw the face of an old man in a tree's bark.
Everyone in my family thought I was crazy. Until the pictures came back. Then they could all see it.
Do you think they caught my crazy?
How fun!! I see them all and I love the spigot and faucets.
I love these things. I look out my window and see a building that looks like a face.
So glad you're all enjoying these!
I love the roof!
All pictures so funny :-)
now I'll be looking for faces in everything!
Definitely the cloud is best
I think my mind is prone to this. I remember when I was really young, we had put pink insulation in between our window panes, and i could swear I saw a burning at the stake kind of image. That haunted me for the winter, and then ever since. There are a lot of times where I see people or faces in nothing. Creepy.
