Although this seems to be common for most people, and maybe even other primates, I seem to have been very sensitive to this phenomenon from a very young age. My mum tells me how as a child, I would sometimes describe to her faces in objects that she struggled to see. To this day, some of my choices are influenced by facial pareidolia, for example, when I got my first car, I made sure I chose a happy car over an angry one. 🤣🤣🤣

I actually attended a talk by the researcher who first did this study! It was fascinating. The prior belief was that the womb was totally dark and needed to be so for the foetus to develop correctly. It took a whole bunch of simulations and tests for the ethics board to even agree to the study in the first place. And the infants truly did respond to faces. The response was different when the three dots were oriented "upside down" to the foetus's perception.
