Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The main goal of this experiment was to see if an earlier laboratory anecdote could be confirmed with a naïve population of subjects. That is, a high percentage of LFR’s experienced remote viewers scored 6 or above on the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale (SHSS).
One hundred students from a Budapest, Hungary, “new age” college participated in the study. A random half were measured by hypnotic techniques for their SHSS scores before participating in the anomalous cognition (AC) part of the study. The remaining half of the students were measured on the SHSS after their AC participation. Each subject was asked to contribute four AC trials at a rate of approximately one per week.
By rank-order assessment, we found little AC in this population. We observed a mean rank (n=400 trials) of 2.998 corresponding to an effect size of 0.002 (p = 0.482). There was weak support for some of the students (i.e., 34) who produced possible evidence for AC (i.e., ES 0.38) where 30 would be expected (p = 0.22).

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Examination of intercorrelations among the outputs of isolated, continuously operating, electronic truly random number generators (RNG) located around the world revealed that the largest daily average intercorrelation in the year 2001 occurred on September 11, 2001. That day experienced an extraordinary amount of worldwide, mass attention, associated with unprecedented terrorist attacks on the United States. To study this coincidence in more general terms, an analysis was conducted examining the relationship between objective daily measures of world-wide news events vs. daily average RNG intercorrelation values, over a one-year period. The prediction was a positive relationship, and the results were significantly positive (p=0.004). This suggests that entropic fluctuations simultaneously observed in truly random, isolated systems may be meaningfully linked to events that attract mass human attention. One interpretation of these observations is that mind and matter are linked in fundamental ways.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Previous research demonstrated relationship between gradients of entropy of the target stimuli and the resulting quality of the anomalous cognition (AC).
AIM
To verify the above using liquid (LN) nitrogen as an entropy beacon.
METHOD
After an AC session, randomly select one of 22, entropy neutral, natural sites as a stimulus. Randomly dispense 3 L of LN at half of the trials. AC metric was computational figure of merit based on fuzzy sets.
RESULTS
Conducted 72 formal trials using the difference between sessions during which LN was dispensed at the site compared to no liquid nitrogen dispensed at the site. The effect size for the observed distribution difference was 0.251 ± 0.167 leading to a z-score of 1.503 and an associated p-value of .066. We observed a decline effect in that the first half produced a significant result supporting the test hypothesis (zdiff = 1.80, p = .036, ES = 0.425 ± 0.236). One of three participants produced a significant finding (zdiff = 2.23, p = .013, ES = 0.909 ± 0.408).
CONCLUSION
It is likely, but not statistically supported, that changes of thermodynamic entropy at a target stimulus site enhance the AC of that site. There were extensive physical and psychological circumstances that might have accounted in the second half decline.

Edge-centric analysis of stroke patients: An alternative approach for biomarkers of lesion recovery
Publication year: 2022
URL:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213158222001206
Abstract/Results: Most neuroimaging studies of post-stroke recovery rely on analyses derived from standard node-centric functional connectivity to map the distributed effects in stroke patients. Here, given the importance of nonlocal and diffuse damage, we use an edge-centric approach to functional connectivity in order to provide an alternative description of the effects of this disorder. These techniques allow for the rendering of metrics such as normalized entropy, which describes the diversity of edge communities at each node. Moreover, the approach enables the identification of high amplitude co-fluctuations in fMRI time series. We found that normalized entropy is associated with stroke lesion severity and continually increases across the time of patients’ recovery. Furthermore, high amplitude co-fluctuations not only relate to the lesion severity but are also associated with patients’ level of recovery. The current study is the first edge-centric application for a clinical population in a longitudinal dataset and demonstrates how a different perspective for functional data analysis can further characterize topographic modulations of brain dynamics.

ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Beginning in 1998, a network of electronic truly random number generators located around the world has continuously recorded samples of truly random bits. Data from this “Global Consciousness Project” (GCP) were used to explore a hypothesis that predicts the emergence of anomalous structure in random data correlated with events that attract widespread human attention. Such events include acts of terrorism, large sporting events, deaths of celebrities, and so on. A formal experiment testing this hypothesis in 500 events from 1998 to 2015 found a highly significant (7.3 sigma) deviation from chance expectation. However, the duration of the selected events comprised less than 5% of all data available through 2022.
AIMS
The present analysis examined the full database, from 1998 through 2022, to see if emergence of non-random structure was limited to the formal experiment’s selected 500 events, or if the data reflected a persistent, if subtle, relationship between collective mind from small and large groups around the world, versus matter in the form of truly random data. In other words, we explored if the full database behaved in alignment with a chance-expected random walk, or if temporal structure was “hidden” in these data.
METHOD
Two analytical methods were used to study possible emergent structure in time-series data: multiscale entropy and a novel deconvolution technique. The former is used in many disciplines that deal with time-series data, including analysis of electrocortical and other physiological signals. The latter was developed for purposes of the present study; it is conceptually similar to the deconvolution of a complex signal by a Fourier transform.
RESULTS
Both analytical methods provided significant statistical evidence (above 4 sigma) consistent with the hypothesis that the GCP data contained temporal structure that would not be expected by chance. This unexpected structure appeared most robustly at time-scales of about 8 to 15 minutes, which is consistent with human-centric periods of attention. That is, analysis of much faster (seconds) and much longer (days) sequences showed results that conformed to random expectation.
CONCLUSIONS
This study showed that some aspect of collective consciousness appears to be anomalously correlated with objective effects in the physical world, as reflected in the present case by the outputs of hardware-based random number generators. This

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.
