Psychology - the Way People...
Our brain is constantly interpreting everything we see, our brains create shortcuts in order to try to make sense of everything we see around us. We have so many sensory inputs that go into our brain by the second (I'm talking millions!) that our brain tries to make sense of it all at once! Therefore many times we are deceived by what we see, when it isn't really what are truly seeing. A lot of what we interpret seeing is triggered by culture, emotions, familiarization and many factors belonging to the eye of the beholder. Our brain looks for simple patterns, for instance if we look at a field with four cows standing next to four more cows standing next to four more cows our brain will instantly group them and we will describe them as three groups of four cows each due to the space in between the "groups" which our brain will interpret as a pattern. Our brain wants to see patterns! and your brain will create them even if there are none there.
