    • The Boolean operator AND between the terms is assumed by default. If you enter the words European Union in the search box, the system returns all records in which both words occur, regardless of their order.
    • When entering a set of words in quotes, e.g "european union", all records containing the literal term "European Union" will be retrieved.
  • Search by access fields (e.g. author, title, etc.):
    • To direct your search, choose the field in which you want to search the word or expression.

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:
The acute subjective effects (ASEs) of psychedelic substances are assumed to play a critical role for their therapeutic and well-being enhancing benefits. However, recent work voiced critique regarding the validity and adequacy of conventional measures and modalities utilized to study ASEs of psychedelics, and call for data-driven, unbiased, and experience-based research approaches. The emergence of advanced Natural Language Processing techniques as an enabler of data-driven qualitative research holds promise for addressing the current biases and limitations in the investigation of ASEs of psychedelics. In the present study, we employed an NLP-driven, multi-method analytical paradigm to study the subjective experiences of participants in an ecologically valid RCT examining the effect of DMT/harmine on meditative states in experienced meditators using phenomenological interviews. Our analysis showed differences in the thematic landscape and experiential diversity of meditation under placebo and meditation under DMT-harmine while showing overlap in their semantic topographies. The mixed-modal analysis successfully identified a wide range of well-established primary subjective effects while also detecting subtle, patterned regularities in language that traditional hypothesis-driven approaches alone may overlook. It revealed a pronounced use of Buddhist concepts and spiritual jargon to describe and integrate the subjective experience, independent of the experimental condition. Findings suggested shared experiential features between meditative and psychedelic states, a strong drug-context interconnection and potential synergistic effects of meditation and psychedelics. We advocate for using NLP-augmented, data-driven paradigms to deepen the understanding of psychedelic subjectivity and emphasize the importance of extra-pharmacological factors in shaping therapeutic outcomes.
