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: RESULTS:
This study aimed to assess the quality of the attachment relation between infant-mother (N= 31 dyads) during the Strange Situation and to examine their heart-rate (through the Holter – Mortara, PR, 4) during this experimental procedure.
Fourteen infants were classified as secure (B pattern), 10 as insecure-avoidant (A group) and 7 as insecure-resistant (C group). This distribution is similar to those found in other studies with middle class and low risk samples. No significant differences were found among the attachment patterns in terms of the infant’ s cardiac baseline. However, significant differences were found between secure and insecure groups in terms of their heart-rate during the Strange Situation: the ambivalent babies (C group) showing an increase especially in the two separation episodes (5 and 8).
In general, similarities were found between insecure-avoidant and secure babies (for instance, a decrease of their heart-rate - in episode 7 - when they are together with the stranger and after being alone in episode 6) but the former showed an increase in their heart-rate during the second reunion with their mothers (episode 8). No relations were found between the mother’s and infant’s heart-rate and the attachment patterns.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Thirty four participants took part in a formal study examining pre- and post-stimulus responses to acoustic stimuli consisting of 1-second of 95db of white noise with a random inter-stimulus interval of 30 ± 10 s. The dependent variable was the difference between pulse-rate, which was measured by a standard 3-electrode ECG placement, prior to the choice of acoustic stimuli compared to prior to no-stimulus control. A Monte Carlo method was used to assess statistical relevance of the data.
Two sets of data were collected to ascertain any Decision Augmentation Theory effects (i.e., experimenter psi): Condition A with 16 stimuli/participant and Condition B with 48 stimuli/participant.
The best participant produced a pre-stimulus effect size of 1.02 (z = 2.05, p = 0.02); however, the results across all 34 participants were disappointing. Combining the two conditions resulted in a total stimuli count of 518 contrasted with 512 silent controls. The effect sizes were 0.043 and 0.006 for Conditions A and B, respectively, which indicated there was no observed prestimulus pulse rate response to acoustic stimuli compared to controls.
It is difficult to ascribe a meaning to a null result; however, we do consider a number of potential explanations.
• We did not screen participants for native ability in this particular setup, so it remains possible that we did not have psi talent in the participant pool.
• Contrary to expectations, heart rate may not be subject to prestimulus response effects.
• This particular study was plagued with difficulties from its inception. Some of these issues arose because we were not well trained in heart-rate measures and analyses. The result was that we had to restart the study learning as we went. This had two important side effects. The first is that it sharply reduced the available participant pool from which we could draw, and secondly and most importantly it had a demoralizing effect on the researchers.
This last point requires further discussion. It is a well-established effect that set and setting play an important role in experimental psychology and perhaps a determining role in parapsychological experiments. One of the strongest effects in the PSI literature is the so-called sheep/goat effect which may be a strong manifestation of this effect.
Because of the frustrating beginning to the study and because our team is strongly accustomed to obtaining positive results, we all became discouraged and less attentive to this study. Perhaps at a minimum this contributed to the null result or, at worst, maybe “caused” the null result.

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 objective of this study was twofold: (1) to observe prestimulus response effects using heart rate as in indicator of the autonomic nervous system and (2) to ascertain which of two potential models of the functioning best fit the data. Are the data indicative of a precognitive response to a future stimuli or an experimenter effect via Decision Augmentation Theory (DAT). Using a 3-point electrode system, we monitored heart rate continuously for approximately 45 minutes. At random intervals of 30±10 s, we consulted a predefined list of counter balanced stimuli of either 1 s of 95 dB white noise or a silent data marker as a control. The prestimulus region was defined as - 4.7 to -1.2 s prior to stimulus onset and the heart rate data for each stimulus was referenced to that at -4.7s (i.e., clamped at that point). The dependent variable was the area between the average heart rate prior a future acoustic stimulus and a future control. A statistical assessment for this area was determined using a traditional non-parametric permutation technique. A DAT test required either 8 (condition A) or 24 (condition B) stimuli, respectively. Combining the two conditions we found essentially no effect (z = -0.29, p = 0.6, ES =-0.01, n = 518 stimuli). So also there appeared to be no observable effect in either of the two conditions: Condition A (z = -0.46, p = 0.68, ES = - 0.043, n = 121 stimuli) and Condition B (z = -0.12, p = 0.54, ES = -0.006, n = 397 stimuli). It is difficult to ascribe a meaning to a null result; however, we do consider a number of potential explanations. (1) Heart rate may not be subject to prestimulus response effects. (2) This study was plagued with difficulties. The result was that we had to restart the study a number of times. This had two important side effects. The first is that it sharply reduced the available participant pool from which we could draw, and secondly and most importantly it had a demoralizing effect on the researchers. This last point requires further discussion. It is a well established effect that set and setting play an important role in experimental psychology and perhaps a determining role in parapsychological experiments. One of the strongest effects in the PSI literature is the so-called sheep/goat effect which may be a strong manifestation of this effect.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Using the methodological paradigm to investigate the presentiment phenomenon and its extension to pre-alerting and guessing tasks, we planned to explore whether participant heart rate signals could be used to predict whether randomly selected future stimuli would be pleasant or unpleasant.
After evidence found in Experiment 1 of different anticipatory signals before the perception of pleasant and unpleasant sounds, we further explored the effect by asking participants to block incoming unpleasant sounds. The prediction was tested in Experiment 2 using an explicit intuitive condition and an implicit condition in which incoming unpleasant sounds were automatically skipped, based on physiological response. Experiment 3 used only the implicit intuitive condition.
When participants were divided into high and low scorers on absorption, high absorbers obtained a statistically significant difference in the means of blocked pleasant and unpleasant sounds (Exp. 2 and Exp. 3), but only in the implicit condition. Overall, these results seem to suggest the possibility of exploiting anticipatory physiological signals to predict future events using implicit intuition.
With a new study, we aimed to replicate and extend the findings obtained by the previous experiments. In this study, two pools of pleasant and alerting sounds were used to test the generality of previous findings. By using fifty participants, it was also possible to study whether gender could be a further moderator of the observed effect.
Results confirm the findings of Tressoldi, et al. (2009), clarifying that the effect was present only in females. Further statistical analysis suggests that absorption acts as an implicit cognitive “filter” only for pleasant sounds.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Using a well-established methodological paradigm to investigate the presentiment phenomenon and its extension to pre-alerting and guessing tasks, we planned to explore in this study whether participant heart rate signals could be used to predict whether randomly selected future stimuli would be pleasant or unpleasant. After evidence was found in Experiment 1 of different anticipatory signals before the perception of pleasant and unpleasant sounds, we further explored the effect by asking participants to block incoming unpleasant sounds. The prediction was tested in Experiment 2 using an explicit intuitive condition in which participants were informed when their physiological response suggested that the next sound would be unpleasant, and they were able to skip it by pressing the computer mouse. We also included an implicit condition in which incoming unpleasant sounds were automatically skipped, based on physiological response. Experiment 3 used only the implicit intuitive condition. In the implicit intuitive condition, we found an r 0.40 (Expt. 2) and an rs = 0.69 (Expt. 3) between the scores on the Tellegen Absorption Scale and the difference between blocked pleasant and unpleasant sounds. The total variance explained by Absorption and a measure of Expected Efficacy was R2corr = 0.105 (Expt.2) and 0.57 (Expt.3). The specific role of absorption in facilitating implicit intuition was confirmed by the low correlation, r = -0.22, with the difference between the blocked pleasant and unpleasant sounds in the explicit condition (Expt. 2). When participants were divided into high and low scorers on absorption, high absorbers obtained a statistically significant difference in the means of blocked pleasant and unpleasant sounds (Expt. 2 and Expt. 3), but only in the implicit condition. Overall, these results seem to suggest the possibility of exploiting anticipatory physiological signals to predict future events using implicit intuition.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
With this study, we aimed to replicate and extend the ?ndings ob-tained by Tressoldi, Martinelli, Zaccaria, and Massaccesi (2009) who showedthat in participants with high scores on the Tellegen Absorption Scale (score> 20), anticipatory heart rate responses in an implicit pre-alerting paradigmcould be used to improve their intuitive decisions on random events. In thisstudy, two pools of pleasant and alerting sounds were used to test the gener-ality of previous ?ndings. By using ?fty participants, it was also possible tostudy whether gender could be a further moderator of the observed effect.Results con? rm the ?ndings of Tressoldi, Martinelli, Zaccaria, and Massaccesi(2009), clarifying that the effect was present only in females. Females witha high level of absorption predict more hits than females with a low level.Further statistical analysis suggests that absorption acts as an implicit cogni-tive “?lter” only for pleasant sounds.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Physiological reactions to incoming stimuli can occur without perceptual and cognitive encoding. This paper reports the results of two experiments aimed at investigating heart rate differences in participants on viewing targets and nontargets in classical clairvoyance and precognition forced-choice tasks. We opted for very easy decision-making tasks instead of using violent/erotic pictures in order to find a scientific paradigm that may also be extended to children. The task consisted of a serial presentation of 4 calm pictures; participants had to guess which picture would be randomly selected as a target. The target was selected automatically by a pseudorandom algorithm. In the clairvoyance condition, targets were selected before participants did the trials; in the precognition one, targets were determined right after participants had made their choice. For each picture presentation, a sample of 10 heart rate data points was collected. The experiments involved 12 participants who together contributed 240 trials. Results were significant in both experiments: heart rate associated with targets increased at a statistically significant level compared to nontargets. The present results lend support to the hypothesis that heart rate may be a reliable physiological variable to detect ESP cognitive information even if overt target identification is at chance.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT
Although the importance of the quality of behaviors in the mother-infant and father-infant interaction is recognized, knowledge on the physiological aspects that underlie it is still scarce. Objective: to describe the physiological response of mothers and fathers during interaction with their infants. For this purpose, heart rate, respiratory sinus arrhythmia and skin conductance of 24 mothers and 13 fathers were recorded during interaction with the infant according to the Face-to-Face Still-Face (FFSF) protocol. Results: There was an increase in heart rate during the face-to-face episode, a decrease in the still-face episode and a new increase in the recovery episode. There is a decrease in respiratory sinus arrhythmia during the face-to-face episode, an increase in the still-face episode and a further decrease in the recovery episode. Regarding skin conductance, the responses of mothers and fathers follow different patterns: in women there is an increase during the face-to-face episode, a decrease in the still-face episode and a new increase in the recovery episode while in men there is a consistent increase in skin conductance throughout the FFSF procedure. Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of the physiological responses of mothers and fathers during the interaction with their infants.

Psychophysiological reactivity in couples during a marital interaction task
Publication year: 2017

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The ability to regulate our own physiological arousal when dealing with the emotional expression of our partner is crucial for satisfactory and stable intimate relationships. In previous physiological studies of marital interactions, researchers have found greater levels of psychophysiological arousal for members of the couple in conflictual interactions in comparison with positive interactions. Past researchers have established that intense and prolonged autonomic and neuroendocrine arousal during marital conflict can have negative consequences for mental and physical health. In this study we examined the physiological reactivity, as measured by skin conductance level, heart rate and cortisol levels, from both partners during a couple's interaction task consisting of a structured conversation about positive and negative aspects of their relationship. Participants were thirty-two heterosexual couples (N?=?64) in a committed monogamous relationship with a minimum duration of one year. We found higher heart rate and cortisol levels during negative interaction condition when compared with the positive condition. Skin conductance was higher in the positive interaction condition, when compared with the negative interaction condition. In addition, we found a significant negative association between heart rate variability and autonomic arousal evoked by the interaction task. The implications of these findings for the effects of marital strain on health as well as for the design of risk-reducing interventions, namely biofeedback are discussed.

Heart rate and heart rate variability during sleep in family dogs (Canis familiaris). Moderate effect of pre-sleep emotions
Publication year: 2018

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6071078/
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The domestic dog (Canis familiaris) has been shown to both excel in recognising human emotions and produce emotion-related vocalisations and postures that humans can easily recognise. However, little is known about the effect of emotional experiences on subsequent sleep physiology, a set of phenomena heavily interrelated with emotions in the case of humans. The present paper examines heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) during dogs' sleep, measures that are influenced by both positive and negative emotions in awake dogs. In Study I, descriptive HR and HRV data is provided on N = 12 dogs about the different sleep stages (wake, drowsiness, non-rapid eye movement (non-REM), REM; scoring based on electroencephalogram (EEG) data). We conclude that wakefulness is characterised by higher HR and lower HRV compared to all sleep stages. Furthermore, drowsiness is characterised by higher HR and lower HRV than non-REM and REM, but only if the electrocardiogram (ECG) samples are taken from the first occurrence of a given sleep stage, not when the longest periods of each sleep stage are analysed. Non-REM and REM sleep were not found to be different from each other in either HR or HRV parameters. In Study II, sleep HR and HRV measures are compared in N = 16 dogs after a positive versus negative social interaction (within-subject design). The positive social interaction consisted of petting and ball play, while the negative social interaction was a mixture of separation, threatening approach and still face test. Results are consistent with the two-dimensional emotion hypothesis in that following the intense positive interaction more elevated HR and decreased HRV is found compared to the mildly negative (lower intensity) interaction. However, although this trend can be observed in all sleep stages except for REM, the results only reach significance in the wake stage. In sum, the present findings suggest that HR and HRV are possible to measure during dogs' sleep, and can potentially be used to study the effect of emotions not only during but also after such interactions.

When our hearts beat together: Cardiac synchrony as an entry point to understand dyadic co-regulation in couples
Publication year: 2021
URL:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/psyp.13739
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The degree to which romantic partners' autonomic responses are coordinated, represented by their pattern of physiological synchrony, seems to capture important aspects of the reciprocal influence and co-regulation between spouses. In this study, we analyzed couple's cardiac synchrony as measured by heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV). A sample of 27 couples (N = 54) performed a structured interaction task in the lab where they discussed positive and negative aspects of the relationship. During the interaction, their cardiac measures (HR and HRV) were recorded using the BIOPAC System. Additional assessment, prior to the lab interaction task, included self-report measures of empathy (Interpersonal Reactivity Index and Interpersonal Reactivity Index for Couples) and relationship satisfaction (Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale). Synchrony computation was based on the windowed cross-correlation of both partner's HR and HRV time series. In order to control for random synchrony, surrogate controls were created using segment-wise shuffling. Our results confirmed the presence of cardiac synchrony during the couple's interaction when compared to surrogate testing. Specifically, we found evidence for negative (antiphase) synchrony of couple's HRV and positive (in-phase) synchrony of HR. Further, both HRV and HR synchronies were associated with several dimensions of self-report data. This study suggests that cardiac synchrony, particularly, the direction of the covariation in the partners' physiological time series, may have an important relational meaning in the context of marital interactions.

Data mining techniques in psychotherapy: applications for studying therapeutic alliance
Publication year: 2023

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Therapeutic Alliance (TA) has been consistently reported as a robust predictor of therapy outcomes and is one of the most investigated therapy relational factors. Research on therapists' and clients' contributions to the alliance development and the alliance-outcome relationship had shown mixed results. The relation of the therapist's and client's biological markers with the alliance is an important and under-investigated topic. Taking advantage of data mining techniques, this exploratory study aimed to investigate the role of different therapist and client factors, including heart rate (HR) and electrodermal activity (EDA), in relation to TA. Twenty-two dyads with 6 therapists and 22 clients participated in the study. The Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) was used to evaluate the client's and therapist's perception of the alliance at the end of each session and through the therapy processes. The Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) was used to explore patterns that may contribute to TA. Machine Learning (ML) models have been employed to provide insights into the predictors and correlates of TA. Our results showed that Linear Regression (LR) was the best technique for predicting the therapist's TA, with client "Diagnostic" and therapy "Termination" being identified as significant predictors of the therapist's TA. In addition, for clients' TA, the Random Forest (RF) was shown to have the best performance. The therapist's TA and therapy "Outcome" were observed as the most influential predictors for the client's TA. In addition, while the Heart Rate (therapist) was negatively associated with the therapist's TA, EDA in the client was a physiological indicator related to the client's TA. Overall, these findings can assist in identifying key factors that therapists should focus on to enhance the quality of therapeutic alliance. Results are discussed in terms of their consistency with empirical literature, innovative and interdisciplinary research on the therapeutic alliance field, and, in particular, the use of the Data Mining approach in a psychotherapy context.

Timing along the cardiac cycle modulates neural signals of reward-based learning
Publication year: 2024

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-46921-5
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Natural fluctuations in cardiac activity modulate brain activity associated with sensory stimuli, as well as perceptual decisions about low magnitude, near-threshold stimuli. However, little is known about the relationship between fluctuations in heart activity and other internal representations. Here we investigate whether the cardiac cycle relates to learning-related internal representations - absolute and signed prediction errors. We combined machine learning techniques with electroencephalography with both simple, direct indices of task performance and computational model-derived indices of learning. Our results demonstrate that just as people are more sensitive to low magnitude, near-threshold sensory stimuli in certain cardiac phases, so are they more sensitive to low magnitude absolute prediction errors in the same cycles. However, this occurs even when the low magnitude prediction errors are associated with clearly suprathreshold sensory events. In addition, participants exhibiting stronger differences in their prediction error representations between cardiac cycles exhibited higher learning rates and greater task accuracy.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Background: Individuals who provide critical emergency care mount rapid psychobiological responses when faced with an incident. These responses are adaptive and ensure resources at time of demand; however, frequent activation with minimal opportunity for recovery can have negative consequences for health and wellbeing. Monitoring individuals in real emergency situations would provide an understanding of their stress responses during the provision of critical care; however, this presents logistical challenges. An alternative is to assess individuals during high-fidelity training scenarios. This is the first comprehensive assessment of psychobiological responding during continuous high-fidelity training in pre-hospital emergency medicine.
Methods: A sample of doctors and paramedics (N = 27) participated during 10 days of training and a weekend of no activities. Training involved the acquisition of human factors, non-technical and surgical skills, and their application in complex high-fidelity scenarios including road-traffic accidents, firearms incidents, and swift water rescue operations. On each day participants reported levels of state, cognitive, and somatic anxiety, and self-confidence following waking and before sleep, and their anticipated (at wake) and experienced (before sleep) demands of the day. Saliva samples were obtained each day for assessment of diurnal cortisol indices and the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR). Garmin smartwatches were worn throughout for the collection of heart rate and HRV-derived stress.
Results: There were significant (p < 0.001) differences across days for state, cognitive, and somatic anxiety; self-confidence; anticipated and experienced demands; aggregated measures of heart rate and HRV-derived stress; levels of cortisol at waking (p = 0.002) and for the CAR (p < 0.001). Measures of psychobiological responding during training were distinct from the weekend and the highest levels of psychobiological responding occurred on days characterised by greater anticipated and experienced demands.
Discussion: This high-fidelity training is typical of the day-to-day requirements of emergency services and these observations are representative of functioning during real-life critical care emergencies. Increased responding during times of demand is adaptive; however, frequent and sustained responding increases allostatic load and is a contributor to burnout. As burnout is a significant concern in emergency medicine, this study identifies patterns of responding and recovery that may impact upon longer-term health and wellbeing.
