[[File:Faceincloud.jpg|thumbnail|300px|'''Face in a cloud''' by '''[http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-10/14/pareidolic-robot Neil Usher]''' - This image serves as an example of [[pattern recognition enhancement]].]]

'''Pattern recognition enhancement''' ~~can be described~~ as an increase in a person's ability to ~~recognise~~ patterns ~~(usually faces)~~ within vague stimuli.

'''Pattern recognition enhancement''' is defined as an increase in a person's ability and tendency to recognize patterns within vague stimuli.

~~This~~ innate ability which ~~human beings~~ possess in everyday life is ~~referred to by the~~ scientific literature as pareidolia ~~and is a well documented phenomenon~~.<ref>Seeing Jesus in toast: Neural and behavioral correlates of face pareidolia | ~~http:~~/~~/www~~.~~sciencedirect~~.~~com/science/article/pii/S0010945214000288~~</ref><ref>Pareidolia in Infants | ~~http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id~~=10.1371/journal.pone.0118539</ref><ref>Why People See Faces When There Are None: Pareidolia (psychology today) | https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/how-think-neandertal/201608/why-people-see-faces-when-there-are-none-pareidolia</ref> Common examples of this include spotting faces in ~~everyday objects, such as~~ the front of a car, or seeing different objects in clouds.
