there's a strange phenomenon that occurs in some pregnancies where extra bloodflow/pressure on a particular region of the brain causes women to over-identify faces (in electrical sockets, in crumpled laundry, etc.). other visual skills are unaffected.

I don't know about pregnancies, but pareidolia and apophenia are terms in psychology for false positive pattern recognition.
