Abstract
In this paper I will argue that medical specialists
interpret and diagnose through technological mediations
like X-ray and fMRI images, and by actualizing
embodied skills tacitly they are determining the identity of
objects in the perceptual field. The initial phase of human
interpretation of visual objects takes place during the
moments of visual perception before we are consciously
aware of the perceived. What facilitate this innate ability to
interpret are experiences, learning and training that become
humanly embodied skills. These embodied skills are
actualized during the moments of visual perception. My
argument is that biology, society and instruments constitute
unique individual ontologies influencing specialist readings
of the technological output, in other words, putting limits
on the ‘‘truth-to-nature’’ relation, which is so much sought
for in science.
