Pareidolia: Misperception of an ambiguous stimulus as something specific
(e.g.- seeing Jesus in the burn marks of a tortilla, or the face of
Satan in the World Trade Center smoke)
"I have recently uploaded my collection of hundreds of pareidolic images
(pareidolia / simulacra) for everyone to view. The data includes
images, articles, bibliographic information and other articles and links
that I have found relevant to the study of this phenomena."

I thought this might be of interest to those exploring neuro-psychiatry
and the neurological basis of religious experiences.
Regards
Jonathan
