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

During ~~the~~ experience ~~of this effect~~ pareidolia can become significantly more intense and pronounced. For example, scenery may look remarkably like ~~people or objects~~, every ~~single leaf on a tree~~ may look like ~~many tiny green~~ faces~~, or~~ clouds ~~might~~ appear ~~to be easily recognizable~~ as fantastical objects, all without any visual alterations actually taking place.

During this experience, pareidolia can become significantly more intense and pronounced than it would usually be during everyday sober living. For example, scenery may look remarkably like detailed images, every day 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 recognised within an object or landscape, the [[hallucinatory states|hallucinatory effect]] known as [[transformations]] may further exaggerate this recognition so that it goes beyond pareidolia and becomes a standard visual hallucination.
