I agree with Claudia. I took neuroanatomy in graduate school.
Part of the course involved being able to identify structures
from arbitrarily-chosen cat-brain sections. We graduate students
would study the projected sections for 2 to 4 hours at a time.
After a study session, we would walk down the hallway of an old
building and see neural structures in the cracks and stains on
the floorway.

I saw this story in the New York Times a few days ago. I've seen some
fuzzy anatomical slides in many a colloquium, so perhaps those who are
accustomed to finding structures in fuzzy masses, this might make more
sense than it does to me. :-) I'm leaning toward the "interpreting
clouds" model, myself.
I'm interested to learn of the reactions of others.

Hi All – Just saw this story this A.M., although have yet to read
the original paper. A fascinating historical discovery by two
neurosurgeons or a case of pareidolia? You make the call (will be
especially interested to hear what the neuroanatomy mavens on TIPS
think). …Scott

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his
work and his play,
his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and
his recreation,
his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is
which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him – he is always doing both.
