Humans are naturally good at face recognition!
-
Our brains are hardwired to see patterns, like in faces - it's a useful brain-trick to have for a social/hunter/gatherer species - so this makes us good at both it and related perceptions; but as a result it can also trip us up into misinterpreting many things - including perceiving 'meaningful' patterns where none exist - which is manifest in many aspects of our lives... e.g. combined with our self-awareness of our own and other's consciousness we can readily 'see' a nonexistent pattern, and then go on to imbue it with its own driving-consciousness; when neither of them exist at all...

The brain can see many things, often it is simply context or perception, take many of the images in the funny photo thread.
One famous image is this one, what do you see first.

It's not dolphins

I can only see the embracing image, what is the other?
-
Dolphins...they're all over the place. What embracing image?

Perhaps a bit of colour change will help you see them, there are 9 in total.
