False Pattern Recognition

Our mind has something called the "false pattern recognition". It is when we see a similar thing but don't understand the difference. For example, when we see a guy who resembles his brother a lot and can't tell the difference. Or when you see a person that looks a lot like a person you know and you think you are seeing the person you know.  Also, when you don't notice a new dent on your car because you are so used to see your car. Recognizing pattern is one of our best abilities, but it can be disadvantageous sometimes because your mind automatically avoids the information that's not in its pattern or patterns.We see with our brains, not our eyes, and what we see depends on context, pattern recognition.
