| Resumo: | The article aims to analyze the persuasiveness of medical images using as examples two specific cases: the use of mental picture of European medicine in the late nineteenth century, and of neuroimaging in the field of contemporary neuroscience. The commonality between the two cases studied is the power of convincing portrayal of the supposed reality of behaviors or pathological conditions, especially in the field of mental medicine. We will emphasize the field of neuroimaging, mapping a critical analysis of the peculiarities of its production process, particularly by researchers in the neurosciences. |
