If you see faces in objects, you are normal!
Do you remember how, as a child, you looked at the patterns on the carpet or on the wallpaper - and found in them big-nosed and big-eared monsters, smiling or threatening grimaces? But there was no one like him hiding there! Just innocent patterns. Many people retain the ability to “see a gopher where there is none” even at an advanced age. This phenomenon has a beautiful scientific name - “pareidolia”.
Psychological reference books call it “perceptual disorder.” But in general, if you wish, you can find this phenomenon anywhere. Strictly speaking, clouds are not white-maned horses at all. And even a smiley is not an image of a human smile: it’s just two dots and a bracket. Have you ever seen two dots and a bracket on a smiling face? That's it...
The Internet is having fun finding faces on Google Maps and drunken octopuses shaped like coat hooks. So we're all a little pareidolic, baby... But some are especially so. And they actively infect those around them!
Mars attacks!
For example, space explorers. It seems that serious people do not hunt for ghosts in vain... But no: in the photographs of the hills of the Martian region of Cydonia, taken by the American Viking-1 in 1976, everyone saw a certain face. And off we go: this is “Sad Angel”, and here we have ruins ancient city, and there are pyramids, and the hill is generally a phallic symbol of the origin of life... From one play of light and shadow in the human brain, another extraterrestrial civilization blossomed and began to flourish wildly.
Holy Virgin on a Sandwich
But science fiction fans - that’s okay, they read and write for themselves beautiful myths and they don’t really bother anyone. But what about traveling thousands of kilometers to worship... a cake? And in 2002, this is exactly what happened: 20,000 (twenty thousand!) pilgrims descended on the Indian city of Bangalore in India to see the “face of Christ” mystically appearing on a chapati cake. And the American designer Diana Deiser kept the sandwich that showed her the “image of the Virgin Mary” for ten years. Only then was she able to part with the relic. For $28,000. And they bought it!
Funny Cars
The pareidolic effect is deliberately used by manufacturers. For example, bottles and vials are given seductive curves so that the subconscious associates them with a female figure, and cars are given individual “facial expressions” depending on the “character” that will attract the consumer: aggressive, assertive or sweet.
Loading a face from the cache
Where does this property come from - to see in a banana not just a banana, that is, at every step to find, if not a divine face, then a funny face? Of course, these are tricks of the brain. He reads the information falling on us from the outside, very quickly - but very approximately. Since he already has certain connections and associations stored in his “RAM” (or “cache”), the main one of which: stick-stick-cucumber - this is clearly homo sapiens. Our customized “facial recognition program” works in one-fifth of a second. And it is precisely the outlines of the face that she gladly substitutes wherever she gets, and for how much in vain.
Where do ears come from?
Why do some see more of this good, while others see less? The opinions of specialists, as usual, differ. The patterns and versions here are as follows.
- Those who believe in God (gods, demons, the universal mind, the supernatural - underline what is necessary), tend to find images of the animate in the inanimate many times more often: in shadows, mountain bends, chips, fish cutlets and any other objects. Starting with the Shroud of Turin, the origin of which we will not discuss;)
- Among representatives of the fair sex, the tendency to pareidolia is more common than among representatives of the stronger sex.
- Similar effects often arise and flourish rapidly in the brain under the influence of psychotropic substances or in the initial (that is, initial) stages of acute psychoses.
- As was said, we automatically “substitute” the details we see into the overall picture, without processing each one separately - to save time. Based on this known effect texts like “By rzelulattam ilsseovadniy odongo anligysokgo unviertiseta, not ieemt zanchneiya, in kokam pryakde rsapozholeny bkuvy v solve.” Everything is wrong, but it still reads quickly and clearly.
- However, above all, the human brain is programmed to search for and recognize faces - and this feature is “triggered” from the very beginning. The first thing a newborn baby does is distinguish from the surrounding reality the faces of the people who are next to him.
- This is the basis for one of the theories of the origin of the pareidolia effect: they say, the ability to recognize faces on long distance or in the fog was so important to our distant ancestors that evolution diligently developed it for survival - until it developed in some places to the level of Diana Deiser with her divine sandwich.
- Some psychologists believe that if a person in his normal everyday state has this feature well developed, this is one of the signs high level neuroticism.
- However, this is also a sign of a creative and subtle nature. So if you see an elf in every curl on the upholstery, and a dragon in every fold of the blanket, this means you have a fine mental organization and developed creative abilities!
