The human brain sees patterns, often when none are actually there. I've often wondered if this could be studied.

Already done and it resulted in what is now called ‘the Rorschach test’.

From:
http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/medmuseum/galleryexhibits/diagnostik/rorschach.html

“The Rorschach test is based on the human tendency to project interpretations and feelings onto ambiguous stimuli. Rorschach held that a person’s perceptual responses to inkblots could serve as clues to basic personality tendencies.”
