Experiences & perception
Pareidolia
The tendency to perceive familiar patterns — faces, words, figures — in random or ambiguous stimuli.
Pareidolia explains many faces in static, voices in noise, and figures in shadows. It is a normal brain process, not a character flaw.
Reviewers often ask whether a clip still sounds like speech to people who do not know the expected phrase.
