BIAL Foundation Archive
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.

Dissociational body experiences: Differences between respondents with and without prior out-of-body-experiences
Publication year: 2005

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Many people report having had an experience in which they felt as if their phenomenal self was separated in Cartesian space from their physical body. This phenomenon is often referred to as an ‘out-of-body’ (OBE) experience. Prior work has found OBE experients to score higher on measures of dissociation and to differ in regards to the perceptual experience of their body. Based upon this work, we theorized that the daily bodily experiences of people with and without a prior OBE would differ along a number of dimensions. In order to test this theory a questionnaire study was conducted. Of 243 respondents, 62 reported at least one prior OBE. Six scales on different aspects of bodily experience were administered. Respondents reporting a previous OBE were found to score significantly higher on measures of somatoform dissociation, self-consciousness, body dissatisfaction, and lower on a measure of confidence in their physical self-presentation than respondents without a previous OBE. The findings are discussed as supporting a dissociational theory of the OBE.

“Antibodies”: Investigating the effects of social media usage and psychological distress on body dissatisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic
Publication year: 2022

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective: The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the habits of people all over the world. Several hours in front of computer screens, along with the inherent instability and uncertainty produced by the pandemic, have compromised people’s psychological well-being. This study investigates the impact of the frequency of social media usage and psychological distress on the levels of body dissatisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A total of 289 Portuguese (n = 167) and British (n = 122) young women aged 18–35 participated in the study. Levels of body dissatisfaction, stress, depression, anxiety, and frequency of social media usage were assessed using self-report questionnaires before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Student’s t test and linear regression were used for the data analysis. Results: The Portuguese group presented a higher level of body dissatisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in comparison to the British. Both groups showed increased levels of body dissatisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, explained by the widespread use of social media and high levels of psychological distress. Conclusions: Our study reveals that high levels of negative affect and excessive social media usage have a deleterious effect on Portuguese and British young women during the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a theoretical foundation to motivate the design of new tools to reduce body-related distress and help moderate social media use for similar future situations. These efforts will prevent eating disorders and low self-esteem, both consequences strongly linked to body dissatisfaction.
