    • When entering a set of words in quotes, e.g "european union", all records containing the literal term "European Union" will be retrieved.
  • Search by access fields (e.g. author, title, etc.):
    • To direct your search, choose the field in which you want to search the word or expression.
    • Search in the field assumes by default the expression in quotes, e.g. European union will retrieve all records containing the literal term "European Union"
  • To perform more complex searches, additional words or expressions may be added.

Start date: 1994
History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In our first study (1) we have shown maintenance of the erythrocyte integrity and a bradycardia effect followed by a significant decrease of plasma cortisol levels in rabbits submitted to telepathy experiments. These results suggested us the hypothesis that the number of hypocampus cortisol receptors are increased in telepathy situations as well as blood pressure variability existence. This hypothesis induces questions about cardiovascular and respiratory autonomic control behaviour. The fast Fourier Transform is used to obtain the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF), respectively parasympathic and sympathic nervous system information.
We can observe different LF/HF values for the basal states (LF/HFrabbit1A = 1,17 and LF/HFrabbit1B =1,70) of different rabbits. Two different scares were tested in a couple of rabbits, for the mobile phone tone scare we obtained LF/HFrabbit1=0,15 and for the blow on the rabbit nose LF/HFrabbit1=0,05. Based on the wavelet analysis of the arterial plethysmography data, we observed that the blow on the rabbit’s nose was the best way to promote the scare.
Telepathy experiments in 2 couples of rabbits were performed with simultaneously arterial plethysmography monitorization for each pair; one scared and other not scared. Lactate and cortisol concentrations and AChE erythrocyte activity were determined after the scare in both the rabbits of the couple and no significant differences were verified. Differences were not visualized by imunohistochemic analysis of rabbit hippocampus tissue sections for glucocorticoid receptors. Besides the maintenance of the erythrocyte integrity and efficiency of the scare, demonstrated by the wavelet analysis, it was not sufficient to evidence a biochemical and neuroendocrine basis for telepathy between rabbits that lived together for 3 months.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In this paper we present the norms for a set of 50 images of animals that were evaluated by a total sample of 78 college students regarding the following dimensions: valence, familiarity, fear, disgust and dangerousness. Ten categories of animals were selected based on the assumption of their negativity and association to emotions such as fear and disgust and included images of animals likely to be found either in a domestic (i.e., bee, gecko, centipede, mouse and cockroach) or non-domestic context (i.e., snake, scorpion, lizard, bat and tarantula). Each image was evaluated by a minimum of 38 participants. Altogether, results regarding the 10 categories suggest that: (a) all may be classified as negative, (b) seven are perceived as familiar, as associated to high fear and/or disgust and (c) four are perceived as dangerous. Here we present the evaluations obtained by each animal category (and exemplar) in each dimension with the goal of contributing to future research that require the use of negative stimuli associated to fear or disgust.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A key feature of humans that is not present in other species is that we have a strong propensity to produce and enjoy music. Music has been observed in all known human societies and is a fundamental part of our everyday life. In the present project, we want to shed light on the biological bases (in neural and evolutionary terms) of musical cognition. More specifically, we want to understand how the human ability to process and produce music might be based on general grouping and perceptual principles with strong biological bases. For this, we focused on the study of how the brain identifies harmony and how it reacts to harmonic violations and the exploration of the evolutionary roots of musical principles as long as they might be shared, or not, across species. In a series of experiments, we recorded the electroencephalographic responses of highly trained musicians and naïve listeners when they were presented with harmonic sequences that either ended as expected or contained a music-syntactic violation. We observed signature neural responses to the violation of harmonic sequences independently of musical experience, and provided evidence of the features that constrain how our brain detects musical patterns. In experiments with animals, we demonstrated that some of the fundamental mechanisms humans use for music processing (such as those involved in the detection of rhythmic and harmonic structure) might emerge from general sensitivities already present in other species. Together, our results advance our understanding of the biological bases of music cognition.
