Why do we see faces in everything around us?

Many people claim to see the shapes of animals in the clouds, or the face of a man on the moon, or even Christ in a cup of coffee and the word of God in the branches of trees and other phenomena. The reason for this abnormal vision of our brain is to try to find the familiar patterns in the vague random data called this phenomenon Paradiolia.

The primitive man was able to avoid wild animals when they saw them as a result of this characteristic. Humans have two kinds of statistical errors. The first includes seeing something that does not exist in truth. It is called paranoia or madness of doubt and persecution. The second involves not seeing what is in fact. Humans are prone to the first type of these errors because of the benefits on the evolutionary aspect it was better for humans to imagine predatory animals and protect them to be overlooked in the event of existence and endanger his life.

The section responsible for recognizing the faces in the brain is called a spinal spiral. It consists of two parts. The left is a quick intuition that governs whether the object is face-to-face. The right-hand section is slower and more accurate, but it needs more effort and time. The brain is lazy, it jumps to release conclusions and judgments; but imagining faces and shapes is not the only deception phenomenon in which the brain is victimized, but there is a projection phenomenon in which we associate what we see with unusual interpretations and meanings, such as in the case of seeing ghosts or the flying saucers or other supernatural phenomena. I have M a tendency to believe the evidence to support their convictions and knowledge prior which is known as confirmatory bias, which is essentially based upon conspiracy theories.

All these phenomena add value to Richard Feynman's theory of theoretical physics. "The first principle is not to deceive yourself, even if you are the easiest person to deceive"
