the brain is always trying to find pattern in incomplete data. one of the explanations i have seen is that when our ancestors were sitting around the fire, those who saw the tiger or something lurking in the dark had better chance to pass their genes than those who didn’t.
it is why we are seeing patterns in clouds and random geometrical shapes on walls and stuff like that.
