How easily does the human mind project faces on symmetrical images?

This work aims to show that that bar can be very low. A few pixels on a dozen lines can evoke eyes and a nose, sometimes a mouth.

As the number of lines rises, however, the number of detectable faces rises too. Different people might project on different "facial pseudo-features".

The mask, simple as it is, does not show the same face to the people who look at it.
