Pareidolia Faces More Likely to be Perceived as Male than Female, New Study Reveals psychology science
« PreviousDespite our fluency in reading human faces, sometimes we mistakenly perceive illusory faces in objects, a phenomenon known as face pareidolia.
However, it is unclear to what degree higher-level social perception beyond the detection of a face occurs in pareidolia. “Face pareidolia, the illusion of seeing a facial structure in an everyday object, tells us a lot about how our brains detect and recognise social cues,” said“The aim of our study was to understand whether examples of face pareidolia carry the kinds of social signals that faces normally transmit, such as expression and biological sex.”
“The results demonstrate visual features required for face detection are not generally sufficient for the perception of female faces.” “We know when we see faces in objects, this illusion is processed by parts of the human brain that are dedicated to processing real faces, so in theory, face pareidolia ‘fools the brain’,” Dr. Taubert said.
