Your brain sees faces in everything—and science just explained why

You may be seeing faces in clouds, toast, or cars—and it turns out your brain is wired to notice them.

These imaginary expressions actually spark a stronger response, and the research even hints at clever ways advertisers could use this effect to grab your attention.
