Have you ever noticed that a funny face is "looking" at you from the washing machine? Or, looking at an ordinary soap dish, could you see a little man in it? This strange impression is called pareidolia - a kind of visual illusion based on the details of a real object.
The overwhelming majority of people have not heard about this concept, but almost everyone has come across it: when looking at the moon, he made out eyes, nose and mouth on its surface. This demonstrates how powerful human illusions can be. The brain reacts instantly, but inaccurately. He constantly processes information received from the outside, analyzes lines, shapes, colors. The brain assigns meaning to these images - usually by comparing them with information stored in long-term memory. Consciousness is able to "distinguish" a face from foreign objects in only one fifth of a second. But sometimes he comes across "ambiguous" things that he mistakenly correlates with familiar objects. This is pareidolia.
Many consider this to be something supernatural. People are specifically looking for similar images around them. But you need to take pareidolia for granted. After all, you can just get pleasure from looking at these cute and funny faces that our imagination "draws".
Many artists use imagination in their work. Ukrainian master Oleg Shuplyak presented a whole series optical illusions.
