Animals and patterns. Humans and...?

So I wonder, what if there was something that humans couldn't recognize or see? Like in the same way animals can't see patterns? And would perhaps that be?

I would say it's to do with our brain software ... as a part of our ability to recognise things our brains must be able to rapidly process complex images and find familiar patterns and match them with known ones. It would seem logical (to me at least) that a side product of that would be to generate mismatches based on chance patterns seen in other scenarios ... it's a kind of computing thing I guess.
