It is called face perception, google it.
Albrecht Dürer pointed it out, that this system also works by cattle faces, because the brain detect that nose to recognise the animal.
A angered cattle in the bush, ready to mix you up, is also an enimie which should be detected of the perception system as quick as possible.
Now you must say :"How could Dürer know that 500 years befor it is discovered by modern science ? This could not be !"
I am sure that some of you can not get that horny guy out of their head, isn't it ? It is a the work of Jürgen. Some people say, that he was educated by Rembrand.
Wait, what?
First of all, I'd still rather like a source. Are you talking about the thatcher illusion? That specifically only says that "[horizontal] inversion disrupts many fundamental aspects of face processing." So in other words, if features (eyes, mouth, usually) are mirrored/upside-down, it messes with our head. Nowhere can I read anything about mirroring vertically, nor half faces, let alone half cattle-noses. Where did Albrecht Dürer point it out? And how? By making (what I assume is) a woodcut of the nose of a cow? Err... I don't quite follow.
