Title:	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: To examine MMI (mind-matter interaction), a field experiment using a random number/event generator (RNG/REG) is methodologically well structured, and the outputs of RNG are often found to be biased when field consciousness is evoked strongly during some events. This study was designed and conducted to compare the validity of hypotheses based on focused attention and on group emotion to explain this anomalistic phenomenon. In the experiment, the top three short films evaluated as stimulating, from 10 candidates, were selected as experimental stimuli, defined operationally as interesting, sad, and humorous. The lowest rated short movie was used as a control condition, a non-emotional stimulus. A total of six groups (total n = 230) participated in the field RNG experiment. Results revealed that the total chi-squared statistics were significant for the experimental condition (three short films), although the results for each of the three emotions were not significant. In contrast, the total chi-squared became non-significant when all the output, including the control condition, was calculated. These results appear to support the emotion hypothesis. Stouffer´s z-scores showed no statistical biases. No emotion-specific biases became clear in the RNG outputs. Finally, some future research issues are discussed.

Abstract/Results:	ABSTRACT: We conducted a random effect generator/random number generator (REG/RNG) field experiment to test the retroactive effects of field consciousness and unintentional psychokinesis (PK) on targets consisting of prerecorded physical random numbers. An experimenter entered ballparks during eight Japanese professional baseball games. Multiple prerecorded random number targets were presented, and true random numbers were also generated. Unexpectedly, we found no retroactive effects on the target random numbers, and no statistical biases were evident under the generated condition, including when several other methods were applied. Future tasks related to field consciousness are discussed.
