JAKARTA – Scientists discovered that women who have just given birth have a tendency to see faces in objects around them.

Face- human face These various forms will appear in cloud formations, trees or even a piece of bread. Familiar-looking faces will appear in unexpected places.

This phenomenon is called pareidolia face. That is when people identify recognizable images in random objects or light patterns.

Reporting from the Daily Mail, Monday (18/9/2023), researchers surveyed 401 women in three groups who were pregnant, had given birth in the last 12 months, or not at all.

All were shown a series of images including clear faces in vegetables or within rock formations, and difficult faces in leaves and fire.

Women who had recently given birth were more likely to see faces in both categories than women in the other groups.

“This suggests that women are more sensitive to faces during early parenthood, potentially enhancing social bonds,” the researchers said.

Researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia, in the journal Biology Letters, said these findings prove that human sensitivity to faces is not stable throughout adulthood.
