Apophenia

Klaus Conrad first used the term in 1958, when he talked about a patient in the beginning stages of schizophrenia. Conrad used the term to describe a cognitive bias towards finding patterns in unrelated things.

Pareidolia is a type of apophenia that involves seeing human faces in random things.
