A study has found that postpartum women reported 'face pareidolia illusion' more easily than pregnant women.
Co-author of the study, Dr. Jessica Taubert from the University of Queensland's School of Psychology, told"This project represents a true case of citizen science, meaning that it was driven by reports from the general public. In brief, following previous reports of our research in the media, I started receiving a lot of phone calls and emails from the members of the public, telling me about their experiences with face pareidolia," Taubert said.
"The results of the self report study are exceptionally clear, women in the postpartum group reliably reported seeing pareidolia more easily than women in the pregnancy group."
