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.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objectives: The aim of the SIPSI v.3.0 was to include a bibliographic citation and/or an abstract, of any book or article (scholarly or popular), thesis, chapter, conference proceedings paper, or separate report or monograph on parapsychology or related consciousness studies.
Method: SIPSI v.3.0 is a collection of computerized bibliographic databases that em-phasize parapsychology and related consciousness disciplines. The latter includes literature on altered states, spiritual disciplines that may be psi related, the mind-body relationship, consciousness
anomalies, and theories, methods, and techniques dealing with aspects of consciousness.
Results & Conclusions: Where obtainable, citations to non-English language materials were also included, if possible with English and non-English abstracts. Non-English languages included are Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Also included are relevant articles published in subject speciality journals in such fields as psychology, physics, engineering, education, philosophy, religion, psychiatry, medicine, literature, folklore, mathematics, anthropology; general science magazines. We also to include books and articles on parapsychology from 1900 to date and some of the most relevant books from other disciplines up to 2010.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objectives: Conventional neurofeedback usually focuses on the self-regulation of a specific brain
parameter which is fed back on a computer screen in order to counter-regulate a symptomatic
brain correlate. In contrast the neurofeedback device developed in this project will provide
simultaneous feedback of a variety of physiological signal sources such as EEG or ECG. Various
subcomponents of a measured signal can be transferred to sounds of specific instruments with the
aim to maintain the information content. The user will be able to perceive the inner body
processes as a visual and sound experience.
Methods: Two prototypes of a small, wearable feedback device have been developed that allow
for real-time data processing, sonification and control of light sources. The first prototype was
equipped with 2 analog-to-digital converters for direct read in of pulse and respiration data. A 32
bit microprocessor was used for data processing. Processed data were sent to a MIDI sound chip
and to a light controller. The second prototype was equipped with a Bluetooth transceiver that
could directly interface a small, wearable EEG amplifier measuring EEG and pulse simultaneously.
The algorithms for sonification have also been implemented in a PC-based program for improved
performance reasons. The systems were able to control studio lighting systems and external
speakers. Consequently, a whole feedback environment was created that allowed a person to
experience the inner processes in the outer world. This feedback environment was termed
‘Sensorium’.
Results: In a pilot study, 20 participants (10 experienced meditators and 10 non-meditators) have
been exposed in a meditative session to their ongoing brain and heart signals inside the
Sensorium. ECG (pulse), slow cortical potentials, and different EEG frequencies were fed back in
real-time. All participants were impressed and gave positive feedback. Almost all of them reported
an increase in contentment, relaxation, happiness, and inner harmony which was assessed in a
questionnaire . They also reported a widening of their body consciousness.
Discussion: This novel neurofeedback-device presents a variety of body signals and rhythms in
sound and light to the user providing a unique sensory experience of non-perceptible inner
processes leading to various positive states of consciousness.
Conclusions: In future, therapeutic paradigms will be developed and the treatment effects on
people with psychological or psychosomatic diseases will be evaluated.
