Do chimpanzees see a face on Mars? A search for face pareidolia in chimpanzees.
Tomonaga M, Kawakami F. Tomonaga M, et al. Anim Cogn. 2023 Jun;26(3):885-905. doi: 10.1007/s10071-022-01739-w. Epub 2022 Dec 30. Anim Cogn. 2023. PMID: 36583802
We sometimes perceive meaningful patterns or images in random arrangements of colors and shapes. This phenomenon is called pareidolia and has recently been studied intensively, especially face pareidolia. In contrast, there are few comparative-cognitive studi …

Face pareidolia is enhanced by 40 Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) of the face perception network.
Palmisano A, Chiarantoni G, Bossi F, Conti A, D'Elia V, Tagliente S, Nitsche MA, Rivolta D. Palmisano A, et al. Sci Rep. 2023 Feb 4;13(1):2035. doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-29124-8. Sci Rep. 2023. PMID: 36739325 Free PMC article. Clinical Trial.
Pareidolia refers to the perception of ambiguous sensory patterns as carrying a specific meaning. In its most common form, pareidolia involves human-like facial features, where random objects or patterns are illusionary recognized as faces. ...
