Pareidolic Imagery Collection

I have recently uploaded my collection of hundreds of pareidolic images (pareidolia / simulacra) for everyone to view.  The data includes images, articles, bibliographic information and other articles and links that I have found relevant to the study of this phenomena.  Currently the format is a bit crude (directly exported from a mind-mapping program that I use), but improvements will be made in the near future.

If you are interested in this subject, confused by some of the references or merely have some questions regarding this universal phenomena, please feel free to submit them via online comments or by contacting me at the Texas A&M University Anthropology Department (979-845-5242)
