Human brains are designed to spot faces - even when they aren't there, says today's Toronto Star.
Continuing, it says Spotting Jesus on your morning toast, the Virgin Mary on a piece of bark, or the face of Elvis on a potato chip is completely normal. All you have to do is believe. "Believing is seeing" says Kang Lee, a University of Toronto professor and neuroscientist and the lead researcher behind a new study that finds "face pareidolia" or finding the Lord and Saviour in your toast is in fact not a sign your imagination has run away with itself. In other words because human brains are specifically designed to recognize faces - even when they aren't there - and because the frontal cortex interprets outside stimuli and generates our expectations, you can find Jesus.
