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:
The relevance of psychophysiological measurements for affective computing and emotion analysis applications has been widely recognized. However, and although several authors have studied the informative content of parameters derived from cardiovascular and other modalities, feature extraction remains an open topic in the field. This is particularly relevant in scenarios where the autonomic nervous system triggering stimuli are unknown. In this paper, we analyze a set of features extracted from multimodal biosignal data, applicable to the assessment of psychophysiological load in unconstrained settings. Experimental evaluation is performed on real world data, collected both from control subjects and subjects with a strong clinical background, in a context of questionnaire-based clinical history reporting. The devised feature set has shown promising properties, making it prone to complement the more traditional measurements.

Classification of erroneous actions using EEG frequency features: implications for BCI performance
Publication year: 2021

Visitante: / https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9630509
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Several studies have demonstrated that error-related neuronal signatures can be successfully detected and used to improve the performance of brain-computer interfaces. However, this has been tested mainly in well-controlled environments and based on temporal features, such as the amplitude of event-related potentials. In this study, we propose a classification algorithm combining frequency features and a weighted SVM to detect the neuronal signatures of errors committed in a complex saccadic go/no-go task. We follow the hypothesis that frequency features yield better discrimination performance in complex tasks, generalize better, and require fewer pre-processing steps. When combining temporal and frequency features, we achieved a balanced classification accuracy of 75% - almost the same as using only frequency features. On the other hand, when using only temporal features, the balanced accuracy decreased to 66%. These findings show that subjects' performance can be automatically detected based on frequency features of error-related neuronal signatures. Additionally, our results revealed that features computed in the pre-response time contribute to the discrimination between correct and erroneous responses, which suggests the existence of error-related patterns even before response execution.

SmartERD: A pipeline for referencing subjects to a common peak in the analysis of ERD dynamics
Publication year: 2025

Visitante: / https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-28583-5
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Identifying band-specific features -such as amplitude and latency/duration-from event-related desynchronization (ERD) patterns in MEG/EEG time-frequency representations can enhance our understanding of how the brain processes tasks and influences behavior. However, these features can be affected by potential noise, intrinsic instabilities, and inter-trial variability, which makes it challenging to analyze ERD dynamics accurately when multiple peaks with similar amplitudes emerge in the ERD pattern. To address these issues, we introduce SmartERD, a new pipeline designed to extract dynamic ERD features while considering ERD variability. SmartERD automatically estimates a band-specific pseudo-confidence interval around the absolute ERD peak, inspired by uncertainty propagation principles. It then identifies the first local ERD peak within this interval -representing the first component of the induced oscillatory response- and automatically extracts its features. A key advantage of this approach is that it extracts the latency of a common reference point for all subjects -the first peak response after a trigger- facilitating more consistent comparisons. We validated SmartERD through realistic simulations that mimic different trial numbers. Results showed that SmartERD's estimates are closer to the ground truth across various noise levels compared to standard methods. Additionally, when applied to experimental MEG data, SmartERD demonstrated a better ability to capture individual differences in ERD dynamics, thanks to the selection of a common reference latency. Overall, we propose SmartERD as a valuable tool for extracting meaningful features from oscillatory dynamics, with the potential to improve the analysis of brain-behavior relationships in complex cognitive tasks.
