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.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
This project is based mainly on the hypothesis that the human mind can interact with electronic targets at a distance, that is, not through conventional means and without spatial and temporal constraints.
AIMS
This project aims at demonstrating the feasibility of practical applications for portable devices based on the mind-matter interaction at a distance with random event generators and digital photographic camera sensors.
METHOD
The first protocol, pre-registered at https://osf.io/3g95p, requires mentally influencing true RNGs’ normal functioning in order to achieve a predefined level of non-randomness (reduced entropy) within a predefined time window. The level of reduced randomness was analyzed by applying two tests of NIST statistical test suite (Rukhin et al. 2010) for testing random strings. The software is available open access at: https://github.com/tressoldi/MindSwitch
Participants: thirteen participants contributed to 100 trials.
The second protocol is based on the mental influence on the memory cells forming the image-sensor of a digital photo camera: indeed each single cell forming a pixel of an image sensor requires little energy to change its level of charge, and then of the voltage controlling its output signal. The software is available open access at: https://github.com/mbilucaglia/PsyCam
Three male adults, with previous experience in mind-matter experiments, contributed to 50 trials overall.
RESULTS
The raw data related to the first protocol are available open access at: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/MindSwitch/8160269
With respect to the confirmatory hypotheses, the only dependent variable that seems influenced by the mental interaction is the detection of reduced randomness by both the Frequency Test and the Runs Test within the same sample of data.
The raw data related to the second protocol, are available at: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Thoughtography/12151932 . The Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of the target images was greater with respect to the control ones in 6 out of 49 trials (12.2%).
CONCLUSIONS
The results of these experiments represent a proof-of-concept of the possibility of both creating electronic devices that can be mentally controlled from a distance and imprinting predetermined images on digital sensors of professional photo cameras affecting their contrast parameters and structural similarity indices, opening the way to a new generation of mind-matter practical applications. An ongoing development of this technology is the use of modern video recorders instead of photo cameras, which allow the possibility to see how images are formed.

Mind-matter entanglement correlations: Blind analysis of a new correlation matrix experiment
Publication year: 2021

https://journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/view/1931
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The work reported here is a rigorous conceptual replication of the so-called “Correlation-Matrix” experiment by an independent author. The experiment has been built from scratch with new hardware and software, testing 200 participants that have spent about half an hour each trying to ‘influence’ a physical random process visualized for feedback. The analysis software has been conceptualized following a strict blind analysis protocol. Blind analysis is a more rigid form of preregistered analysis, in which the complete analysis software is written and tested before the data is actually analysed for the effect under study. The unblinding of the analysis, also called ‘opening of the box’ of the experiment described here has been performed live at the PA convention 2019 in Paris.
The main result was found to be not statistically significant and fell well within the expected random distribution of possible results. A second experiment, also following a blind analysis protocol, included questionnaires that were correlated with the participants’ performance to ‘influence’ the physical random process (the main psi task). This yielded a probability of p=0.06 to have occurred by chance, under a null hypothesis. A post-hoc analysis of the hit rate for the psi task across all participants, which is mathematically independent from the correlation analysis, yielded a probability of p=0.06 as well, to have occurred by chance. Three unexpected anecdotal incidences that occurred during the execution of the experiment and the testing and actual analysis of the data may add to the canon of oddities and trickster-like effects sometimes reported in parapsychology research.
