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.

Discrete-Trial SCP and GSR training and the interrelationship between central and peripheral arousal

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION:
Slow Cortical Potential (SCP) neurofeedback and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) biofeedback training were used to investigate self-regulatory control over central and peripheral arousal processes in two groups of healthy participants.
METHOD:
One group completed the SCP neurofeedback training procedure; the other group performed the GSR biofeedback procedure. Both groups underwent treatment while the other variable was passively recorded. The participants were instructed to either increase (Up trials) or decrease (Down trials) arousal. Twenty sessions were completed by each of the 18 participants over an 8-week period.
RESULTS:
Participants in each group performed better on the variable they were trained on. In the GSR group, a significant increase in performance over blocks was obtained for both trial types (Up and Down). In the SCP group a better performance on the Down trials was obtained. When comparing performance of both trial types, the SCP-trained participants showed a marginal increase and the GSR-trained participants a significant increase over time preliminary-training.
CONCLUSION:
Overall, the results showed that GSR regulation is easier to learn than SCP training with neurofeedback, that both variables can be trained in a bidirectional design, and that the SCP training subjects were predominantly able to learn performance at the Down trials. Preliminary results from the cross-correlations are inconsistent over trial types, trained parameters, and participants. However, the general trend shows a more positive correlation at the end of training compared to the start of training. Cross-correlation analysis suggests that this training encourages positive correlation between the SCP and GSR. Future research directions should be aimed at improving motivational conditions, implementing contingent reward principles, and controlling confounding variables.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
EEG biofeedback did not result in any clear changes in EEG, either within or across training sessions for three of the four locations. There was also no clear difference in behavioural performance of the EEG training group compared to those receiving mock feedback.
However, for the Russian group the results showed that alpha biofeedback training enhanced the alpha peak frequency, width and power in the individual upper alpha range, but only for participants with a low baseline alpha peak frequency (<10 Hz). In contrast, the mock biofeedback increased resting alpha power only in participants with high baseline resting alpha frequency. With regards to changes in cognitive performance those given real EEG biofeedback training showed evidence of improving their response times and accuracy when completing a mental rotation task. Though this was only seen for those with lower individual alpha peak frequencies (<10Hz). Similarly, those receiving real feedback that had low peak alpha also showed improved performance on a conceptual span memory task. There was also a reduction in anxiety levels for those given real feedback with high peak alpha.
The findings are less clear and robust than we had originally anticipated. The various reward thresholds seemed to have little impact on the effectiveness of the training. However, given the overall lack of effects this may be due to other aspects of the methodology. With regards to effects of EEG biofeedback on cognition there were only main effects of Time suggesting that improvements over time were the result of practice rather than the intervention. The differences found for the Russian cohort may be the result of specific cultural influences which we hope to explore further.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
EEG neurofeedback appears to both improve normal brain function and treat a wide range of mental disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, epilepsy, depression, anxiety, insomnia, autism spectrum disorder, and alcoholism. Despite a relatively long history, however, the medical community continues to question the clinical utility of this technique. To earn widespread appellation as evidence-based medicine, neurofeedback must meet three challenges: 1) perform at least on par with standard-of-care treatments in randomized controlled trials for each disorder where neurofeedback purports to help; 2) consistently outperform highly comparable placebo control conditions (e.g., sham neurofeedback); and 3) establish a clear mechanism for the claimed therapeutic benefits. In this talk, we will elucidate the crosstalk between placebo science and neurofeedback, including fMRI-nf.
