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.

Title:
True grit? The perception of a partner's effort boosts cognitive control to sustain commitment in joint action
Publication year: 2026

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Recent research has produced evidence that the perception of a partner's effort increases people's sense of commitment to joint actions, leading to increased effort, persistence and performance on boring and effortful tasks (Székely & Michael, 2018; Chennells & Michael, 2018). However, the cognitive and motivational processes underlying these effects remain unclear. The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that the perception of a partner's effort leads to the increased engagement of executive control mechanisms (inhibitory control and supervisory attentional control) to maintain task focus and to avoid temptations and distractions. To this end, we manipulated the perception of a partner's effort using the same stimuli as in Székely & Michael (2018), and measured how participants responded to the commission of errors (post-error reaction time) on a go/no-go task. The results showed that participants decelerated more after errors in the High Perceived Effort condition than in the Low Perceived Effort condition. Insofar as deceleration after an error is a marker of increased supervisory attentional control, our findings suggest that the perception of a partner's effort may boost cognitive control to shield off the temptation to abandon the joint action.
