Visual dream content, graphical representation and EEG alpha activity in congenitally blind subjects

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
It is currently claimed that congenitally blind do not have visual imagery and are therefore unable to present visual contents in their dreams. The aim of our study was to quantitatively evaluate the existence of visual imagery in born-blind dreams and to correlate it with objective measures, such as sleep EEG frequency components, namely with alpha attenuation (regarded as an indicator of visual activity), and graphical analysis of dream pictorial representations. The investigation was carried out via simultaneous recordings of dream reports and polysomnography, during nocturnal sleep at volunteers' homes; scheduled regular awakenings during the night provided the data for dream and EEG analysis. In the morning, subjects were asked to make a drawing of their dream images. Congenitally blind (n=10) were comparable to normal sighted subjects (n=9): the two groups presented equivalent visual activity indices, and no differences in the analysis of graphical representation of dreaming imagery. However, blind subjects presented a lower rate of dream recall than sighted (27% versus 42%). Both groups had significant negative correlation between Visual Activity Index (VAI) and alpha power in the central and occipital O2 derivations (blind: C4: r=-0.615, P<0.005; O2: r=-0.608, P<0.006; sighted: C4: r=-0.633, P<0.01; O2: r=-0.506, P<0.05). This correlation was weaker for the blind in O1 (r=-0.573, P<0.05) and non-existent for the sighted. Blind individuals have significantly lower alpha activity in the central derivation. In conclusion, the congenitally blind have visual content in their dreams and are able to draw it and, as expected, their VAI is negatively correlated with EEG alpha power.

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.

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:
Differences in dream structure between blind and sighted subjects
Publication year: 2001
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
It is currently assumed that congenital blind have a different dream structure than sighted subjects, namely that they do not dream with images.
We evaluated 10 congenital blind (age: 28.2±5.2; 5 males and 5 females) and a control group of 9 sighted subjects (28.2±5.5; 4 males and 5 females), matched for age, sex and education, without medical or psychiatric diseases, and with regular sleep schedules, in order to assess the differences between the dream structure.
The dream reports were collected at the volunteers’ home during two consecutive nights. The subjects were awaken four times each night, every 90 minutes, through a programable alarm. After being awakened the volunteer recorded to a voice-activated tape recorder everything he/she was thinking prior to the awakening.
Grammatical and content analysis were performed on the dream reports. The first consisted on the following classes: Total Number of Words (TW), Percentage of Verbs (PV), Percentage of Adjectives (PA) and Percentage of Nouns (PN). The content analysis was performed based on the Hall & Van the Castle criteria using two of the categories: Activities and Emotions, and the corresponding classes: Physical (P), Movement (M), Change in Location (L), Verbal (V), Expressive Communication (E), Visual (S), Auditive (A), Thought (T), Fury (FU), Apprehension (AP), Happiness (HA), Sadness (SA) and Confusion (CO).
Each recording was analysed independently by two experimenters, unaware of the volunteer’s category. For each analysis the following parameters were calculated: Global Oneiric Activity Index (GAI=(P+M+L+V+E+S+A+T)/TW), Visual Activity Index (VAI=S/TW), Thought Activity Index (TAI=T/TW), Muscular Activity Index (MAI=(P+M)/TW), and Global Oneiric Emotivity Index (GEI=(FU+AP+HA+SA+CO)/TW). The final value was the mean of the two independent scores.
The 2 groups were compared through the Mann-Whitney’s Test. Regarding the grammatical analysis no significant differences were found between the groups. For the content analysis the only significant difference is for the visual class (S) (U=16.5, p<0.05), but this difference disappears when we compute the VAI, i.e., the Visual Activation Index presents no difference between the groups.
These results suggest that congenital blind and sighted subjects dream structures are similar.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
It is currently claimed that congenitally blind do not have visual imagery and are therefore unable to present visual contents in their dreams. The aim of our study was to quantitatively evaluate the existence of visual imagery in born-blind dreams and to correlate it with objective measures, such as sleep EEG frequency components, namely with alpha attenuation (regarded as an indicator of visual activity), and graphical analysis of dream pictorial representations.
The investigation was carried out via simultaneous recordings of dream reports and polysomnography, during nocturnal sleep at volunteers’ homes; scheduled regular awakenings during the night provided the data for dream and EEG analysis. In the morning, subjects were asked to make a drawing of their dream images.
Congenitally blind (n=10) were comparable to normal sighted subjects (n=9): the two groups presented equivalent visual activity indices, and no differences in the analysis of graphical representation of dreaming
imagery. However, blind subjects presented a lower rate of dream recall than sighted (27% versus 42%).
Both groups had significant negative correlation between Visual Activity Index (VAI) and alpha power in the central and occipital O2 derivations (blind: C4: r=-0.615, P<0.005; O2: r=-0.608, P<0.006; sighted: C4: r=-
0.633, P<0.01; O2: r=-0.506, P<0.05). This correlation was weaker for the blind in O1 (r=-0.573, P<0.05) and non-existent for the sighted. Blind individuals have significantly lower alpha activity in the central derivation. In conclusion, the congenitally blind have visual content in their dreams and are able to draw it and, as expected, their VAI is negatively correlated with EEG alpha power.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
1) RESEARCH
The results obtained were very promising. We discovered that dream reports of congenitally blind subjects present visual content and these are strongly correlated with the EEG alpha rhythm. Alpha attenuation is considered as a very good indicator of visual activation in sighted subjects so the results point to the possibility of visual imagery in blind subjects in the absence of visual perception. The blind subjects were also able to graphically represent the scenes they described in their dreams and when compared to the representations of sighted subjects quantified through Goodenough and Quoc Vu tests they present no differences.
2) ACADEMIC DEGRESS
