Galvanic vestibular stimulation influences randomness of number generation
Publication year: 2012

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00221-012-3302-6
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Successful interaction with the external environment requires a balance between novel or exploratory and routine or exploitative behaviours. This distinction is often expressed in terms of location or orientation of the body relative to surrounding space: functions in which the vestibular system plays an important role. However, the distinction can also be applied to novel versus repetitive production of any behaviour or symbol. Here, we investigated whether vestibular inputs contribute to the balance between novel and routine behaviours, independently of their effects on spatial orienting, by assessing effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on a random number generation task. Right-anodal/left-cathodal GVS, which preferentially activates the left cerebral hemisphere decreased the randomness of the sequence, while left-anodal/right-cathodal GVS, which preferentially activates the right hemisphere increased it. GVS did not induce any spatial biases in locations chosen from the number line. Our results suggest that vestibular stimulation of each hemisphere has a specific effect on the balance between novel and routine actions. We found no evidence for effects of non-specific arousal due to GVS on random number generation, and no evidence for effects on number generation consistent with modulation of spatial attention due to GVS.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:
Reward has been shown to affect attention in healthy individuals, but there have been no studies addressing whether reward influences attentional impairments in patients with focal brain damage.
METHODS:
Using two novel variants of a widely-used clinical cancellation task, we assessed whether reward modulated impaired attention in 10 individuals with left neglect secondary to right hemisphere stroke.
RESULTS:
Reward exposure significantly reduced neglect, as measured by total targets found, left-sided targets found and centre of cancellation, across the patient group. Lesion analysis showed that lack of response to reward was associated with damage to the ipsilateral striatum.
CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first experimental evidence that reward can modulate attentional impairments following brain damage. These results have significant implications for the development of behavioural and pharmacological therapies for patients with attentional disorders.

Evidence for enduring deficits after the resolution of visuo-spatial neglect
Publication year: 2013
URL:
http://www.esn2013.org/program/symposia/symposium-20-compensatory-mechanisms-in-visual-neglect/
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Neglect frequently resolves spontaneously-however many patients continue to suffer from a number of important and frequently overlooked deficits. These residual deficits involve a number of critical functions associated with parietal cortex: attention; remapping of spatial information across saccades; spatial aspects of long-term memory. First, patients with resolved neglect appear to suffer from a pathological loss of attention capacity. We have shown this by modulating the difficulty of a task at fixation and assessing the impact of this manipulation on perception across the visual field. Patients with right parietal lesions – but without neglect - are impaired in detecting contralesional stimuli only when central task difficulty is high. Further, this impairment extends temporally leading to a spatiotemporal ‘attentional blink’ in which patients are unable to detect contralesional stimuli for a lag of up to 500 ms (Russell et al, 2004; Russell et al, 2012). Second, after neglect has resolved a considerable number of patients continue to suffer from constructional apraxia, such that they are unable to copy drawings or 3D constructions. We have assessed spatial remapping across saccades in these individuals and have shown a specific impairment in remapping location information, as compared to pattern information (Russell et al, 2010). Recently, in recovered neglect patients with right parietal damage we have assessed whether deficits in spatial representation can be revealed in tests of long-term memory. This has proved to be the case as, despite having no memory deficits in standard neuropsychological tests, when examined with a paradigm designed to examine personal spatial perspective within episodic memory, patients with right parietal damage are greatly impaired. The results of these three lines of research will be discussed in relation to enduring dysfunction following right parietal damage, and how this might relate to the neglect syndrome itself.

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.

Title:
When a laser pen becomes a stick: Remapping of space by tool-use observation in hemispatial neglect
Publication year: 2014

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The role of active tool use in the remapping of space in hemispatial neglect patients has been extensively investigated. To date, however, there is no evidence that observing tool use can play a role in the remapping of space in hemispatial neglect patients. In this study, a patient with a severe hemispatial neglect in near but not far space and twelve healthy controls were asked to bisect near and far lines using a laser pen. The task was performed both before and immediately after sessions in which they merely observed the experimenter bisecting near and far lines with a stick. During the observation session, participants were either holding an identical stick or empty-handed. Results, in both the neglect patient and healthy controls, showed that observing the experimenter bisecting line while holding the same tool, produces a remapping of the far space into the near space. This result was particularly evident in the neglect patient where observing line-bisection task extended the spatial deficit from the near to the far space. Our results provide new empirical support to the idea that the space around us is not mapped in merely metrical terms, rather it seems to be deeply impacted by both action observation and execution.
