~~Under~~ this effect, pareidolia can become significantly more pronounced than it would usually be during everyday sober living. For example, scenery may look remarkably like detailed images, everyday objects may look like faces, and clouds may appear as fantastical objects, all without any visual alterations actually taking place. Once an image has been perceived within an object or landscape, the mind may further exaggerate this recognition through the [[hallucinatory states|hallucinatory effect]] known as [[transformations]], which goes beyond pareidolia and becomes a standard visual hallucination.

Pattern recognition enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[acuity enhancement]] and [[colour enhancement]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#mild|mild]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[~~2C-B]], [[psilocin~~]], and [[mescaline]].
