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:
INTRODUCTION:
Inconsistencies in the relationship between dissociation and hypnosis may result from heterogeneity among highly suggestible individuals, in particular the existence of distinct highly suggestible subtypes that are of relevance to models of psychopathology and the consequences of trauma. This study contrasted highly suggestible subtypes high or low in dissociation on measures of hypnotic responding, cognitive functioning, and psychopathology.
METHODS:
Twenty-one low suggestible (LS), 19 low dissociative highly suggestible (LDHS), and 11 high dissociative highly suggestible (HDHS) participants were administered hypnotic suggestibility scales and completed measures of free recall, working memory capacity, imagery, fantasy-proneness, psychopathology, and exposure to stressful life events.
RESULTS:
HDHS participants were more responsive to positive and negative hallucination suggestions and experienced greater involuntariness during hypnotic responding. They also exhibited impaired working memory capacity, elevated pathological fantasy and dissociative symptomatology, and a greater incidence of exposure to stressful life events. In contrast, LDHS participants displayed superior object visual imagery.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results provide further evidence for two highly suggestible subtypes: a dissociative subtype characterised by deficits in executive functioning and a predisposition to psychopathology, and a subtype that exhibits superior imagery and no observable deficits in functioning.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We conducted two trials of a free-response ESP test. The aim was to determine if two groups of the hypnotically susceptible –the low and high scorers– scored differently in terms of psi hitting. The sample consisted of 101 subjects (69 females and 32 males) psi-believing participants. We used the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility which assesses the hypnotisability level when subjects are tested in groups. Participants were categorised as the "High HS" group (N = 20) and "Low HS" group (N = 81). We also used the following criteria to split the sample into three hitting groups: (1) No hits within two trials. one hit within two trials, and (3) Two hits within two trials. The difference among three groups (no hit, one hit, and two hits) was significant (p = .017, 1-tailed). The High HS group scored higher than the Low HS group, which scored at chance (p = .03, 1-tailed).

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
The goal of this project was to investigate the enhancement of hypnotic suggestibility. Studies 1 and 2 applied transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to left prefrontal cortex in a double-blind, sham-controlled design, in an attempt to increase responsiveness to a hypnotic suggestion for enhanced selective and sustained attention, respectively. These studies produced mixed results although there was clear evidence that suggestion could be used to improve sustained attention. Study 3 investigated the hypnotic response patterns of medium and highly suggestible individuals and identified three distinct patterns. Study 4 was a theoretical critique of contemporary measures of hypnotic responding and provides recommendations for the development of the next generation of assessment instruments. Study 5 found that hypnotic suggestibility is negatively associated with metacognition. This project has a number of implications for the enhancement of hypnotic suggestibility. First, tDCS applied to left prefrontal cortex does not appear to reliably enhance hypnotic suggestibility. Second, high hypnotic suggestibility is characterized by diverse response patterns and the clarification of these patterns will benefit future attempts to enhance suggestibility. Third, contemporary measures of hypnotic responding suffer from significant methodological limitations and thus studies modifying suggestibility using these scales should be interpreted with scepticism. Finally, hypnotic suggestibility is associated with impaired metacognition and thus future research on the modification of suggestibility may benefit from specifically targeting this function.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This article summarizes key advances in hypnosis research during the past two decades, including (i) clinical research supporting the efficacy of hypnosis for managing a number of clinical symptoms and conditions, (ii) research supporting the role of various divisions in the anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortices in hypnotic responding, and (iii) an emerging finding that high hypnotic suggestibility is associated with atypical brain connectivity profiles. Key recommendations for a research agenda for the next decade include the recommendations that (i) laboratory hypnosis researchers should strongly consider how they assess hypnotic suggestibility in their studies, (ii) inclusion of study participants who score in the middle range of hypnotic suggestibility, and (iii) use of expanding research designs that more clearly delineate the roles of inductions and specific suggestions. Finally, we make two specific suggestions for helping to move the field forward including (i) the use of data sharing and (ii) redirecting resources away from contrasting state and nonstate positions toward studying (a) the efficacy of hypnotic treatments for clinical conditions influenced by central nervous system processes and (b) the neurophysiological underpinnings of hypnotic phenomena. As we learn more about the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying hypnosis and suggestion, we will strengthen our knowledge of both basic brain functions and a host of different psychological functions.

Final report - An integrative approach to the neural basis of hypnotic suggestibility

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Despite recent advances in neuroimaging research on hypnosis, the neurophysiological bases of individual differences in hypnotic suggestibility remain poorly understood. In particular, relatively little is known about how variability of neurochemicals in sensory-motor regions and areas in dopaminergic pathways contribute to variability in hypnotic responding. Similarly, relatively little research has sought to dissociate behavioural response to suggestions from the distortions in agency that comprise the primary phenomenological feature of response to suggestion. To address these gaps, we undertook three studies aiming to advance current understanding in this domain by investigating the neurochemical and brain structural correlates of hypnotic suggestibility and distortions in the sense of agency during hypnotic responding. Study 1 showed that hypnotic suggestibility is negatively associated with motor cortex GABA concentrations even after controlling for multiple potential confounding variables. Study 2, by contrast, did not identify any robust correlates of hypnotic suggestibility in multiple regions of interest including pre-SMA, putamen, and cerebllum. Finally, Study 3 found that involuntariness during response to suggestion, but not hypnotic suggestibility, was associated with grey matter volume in a broad network involving thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Together, these studies implicate motor processing in hypnotic responding and brain regions involved in the transmission of motor and sensory information to cortex and the sense of agency in the phenomenology of hypnotic responding. This research expands current knowledge regarding the neural basis of hypnotic suggestibility and suggests new avenues for research.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Hypnosis involves the use of verbal suggestion to modulate behaviour and experience. Hypnosis and imagination have long been associated and the view that hypnotic suggestion effects changes in experience through imagination is a persistent one. In this review, we first present a brief overview of hypnosis and then turn to its potential relationship to imagery and imagination. We consider whether individual differences in imagination may relate to hypnotic suggestibility and the extent to which imagery is recruited during response to hypnotic suggestions in psychological and neuroimaging studies. Finally, we briefly consider the roles of imagery and suggestion in clinical applications of hypnosis. We conclude that whilst hypnotic suggestibility may relate to variability in imagination, hypnotic suggestion and voluntary forms of imagery are subserved by dissimilar neurocognitive mechanisms.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The most well-established finding gleaned from decades of experimental hypnosis research is that individuals display marked variability in responsiveness to hypnotic suggestions. Insofar as this variability impacts both treatment outcome in therapeutic applications of hypnosis as well as responsiveness to suggestions in experimental contexts, it is imperative that clinicians and researchers use robust measures of hypnotic suggestibility. The current paper critically evaluates contemporary measures of hypnotic suggestibility. After reviewing the most widely used measures, we identify multiple properties of these instruments that result in the loss of valuable information, including binary scoring and single-trial sampling, and hinder their utility, such as the inclusion of suboptimal suggestion content. The scales are not well-suited for contemporary research questions and have outlived their usefulness. We conclude by outlining ways in which the measurement of hypnotic suggestibility can be advanced.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The most well-established finding gleaned from decades of experimental hypnosis research is that individuals display marked variability in responsiveness to hypnotic suggestions. Insofar as this variability impacts both treatment outcome in therapeutic applications of hypnosis as well as responsiveness to suggestions in experimental contexts, it is imperative that clinicians and researchers use robust measures of hypnotic suggestibility. The current paper critically evaluates contemporary measures of hypnotic suggestibility. After reviewing the most widely used measures, we identify multiple properties of these instruments that result in the loss of valuable information, including binary scoring and single-trial sampling, and hinder their utility, such as the inclusion of suboptimal suggestion content. The scales are not well-suited for contemporary research questions and have outlived their usefulness. We conclude by outlining ways in which the measurement of hypnotic suggestibility can be advanced.
