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:
Two hundred psychology undergraduates completed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, an expanded version of the Kumar–Pekala Drug-Use Scale, the Revised Transliminality Scale, and an assortment of single-item true/false statements thought to be relevant particularly to transliminality. Based on previous theorizing and research it was predicted that persons scoring high on the Revised Transliminality Scale (1) are more likely to be unhappy, and (2) engage in greater usage of illicit drugs. Only the second of these predictions was upheld. A further aim of this study was to compare the drug use of highly transliminal participants who were happy against those who were unhappy: it was predicted that unhappy high transliminals would report greater use of illicit drugs, and the findings supported this hypothesis.
Using the enter method of multiple regression, transliminality and happiness were jointly examined in relation to the drug variables and a number of single-item variables of a mostly negative nature. Happiness was found to correlate negatively with a large number of items (providing some degree of construct validity). The correlations tended to be positive with transliminality, indicating more drug use, more self-destructive behaviors, and a greater tendency to withdraw from excessive stimulation.

Individual differences in peace of mind reflect adaptive emotion regulation

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Well-being consists of several different dimensions, such as hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. However, peace of mind (PoM)—an aspect of well-being characterized by internal peace and harmony—has only recently begun to receive attention. It has been shown that PoM predicts important outcomes, such as depression and anxiety. An open question is what underlies individual differences in PoM. One important factor may be emotion regulation. However, to date, no studies have been conducted on PoM and emotion regulation. Here, we investigated the relationship between individual differences in PoM and trait emotion regulation. In two studies, participants from Finland (Study 1, N = 417) and the US (Study 2, N = 303) completed measures of PoM, trait emotion regulation, and other aspects of well-being and ill-being. Results showed that people with higher levels of PoM displayed a greater tendency to use cognitive reappraisal and a lesser tendency to use expressive suppression. Our findings suggest that adaptive emotion regulation may play an important role in explaining PoM and may serve as a promising target for interventions designed to enhance PoM.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Religious/spiritual beliefs are predominant in many cultures and a variety of studies focus on their impact. Belief in life after death is associated to less psychiatric symptoms. Belief in reincarnation, shared by millions around the world, may be associated to a healthier lifestyle e less psychiatric symptoms in bereavement. In the 1960’s, the scientific investigation of children who claim past-life memories began – the so called Cases of the Reincarnation Type. However, we have only a few knowledgment about adults who claim those kind of memories and their impact on health. Aims: to investigate the profile of adults who claim past-life memories in Brazilian population, as well as its characteristics, content, impact and associations with mental health, happiness, religiosity/spirituality – R/S. Methods: online recruitment and research. Participants filled in a questionnarie with sociodemographics, questions about features of the alleged memories, and instruments of R/S (BMMRS), for the screening of common mental disorders (SRQ-20) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (IES-R) symptoms. They also described their alleged memories freely. Descriptive and inferential statistics (independent T test, Anova with Bonferroni correction, multivariate logistic regression). Bardin’s content analysis of the memories and of their impact on participants/familiy lives. Results: Most of the participants (n=402) are female (79.1%), white (75.4%), bachelor/undergraduate (68.1%), worker (50.5%), mean age (41.6±12.4), spiritist (54.5%), with interest/frequency in another religion (55.5%) and self-assestment as very/moderately spiritual (91.3%). Alleged past-life memories began spontaneously in 82.3% of the cases, mean age (19.9±13.8). Cases of the Reincarnation Type features: birthmark/defect (54%), skill/talent not learned (47.5%), memories manifested during play in childhood (27.9%), philia (30.3%) and phobia in childhood (71.1%). Persistent phobia in 71% of the cases. Subjective Happiness (4.75±1.15), associated to philia in childhood OR0.33 (0.19-0.54). Suggestive symptoms of common mental disorders (46%), associated to philia OR3.99 (2.34-6.99) and phobia in childhood OR2.60 (1.51-4.57). Suggestive symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (38.8%) associated to phobia in childhood OR1.79 (1.07-3.05). Different R/S dimmensions associated to higher levels of happiness and suggestive symptoms of mental disorders. Content analysis reveals memories of ordinary lives, most with intense suffering. Categories of negative influence of the memories in subject/family lives were more frequent. Conclusions: Cases of the Reincarnation Type in Brazilian adult population reiterate common features of cases of children, except female prevalence. They are well-educated, white, workers. They are Christians, interested in more than one religion, consider themselves more spiritual than religious. High prevalence of mental disorders symptoms may represent a deleterious effect of the alleged memories and R/S operate as a protective factor. The study highlights the importance of the investigation of supposed past-lives in adults, a neglected mental health issue.
