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:
Event related potential studies can provide important insights into the understanding of how and when the human brain differentiates between visual stimulus categories. Here, we ask the question whether ERP components related to object recognition show category specific responses. Many studies have concluded that faces elicit such category specific responses, based on the demonstration of a ‘face-specific’ negative ERP potential termed the ‘N170’, which is more pronounced for faces than for other visual stimuli. In the present study (8 participants), using static stimuli (photographs of faces and chairs and mooney faces) and manipulating their salience by different levels of masking, we found that the amplitude of the N170 could be modulated by the salience of the stimuli. Hence, whether the N170 for faces was larger than for non-faces simply depended on the salience level of the stimuli. Additionally, using structure-from-motion (SFM) defined face and chair stimuli, we found an object-related negative peak at 250 ms whose amplitude could be modulated by varying depth of the respective stimulus categories (‘flattening’ the stimuli leading to increasingly smaller amplitudes). Moreover, a comparison between stimulus categories (faces, chairs and coherent 2D and 3D motion) revealed that the N250 peak has a significantly larger amplitude for SFM chair stimuli than for SFM face stimuli (even for normal/optimized depth values in the two categories) and hence failed to show a face-specific effect. The object-sensitive N250 elicited by the SFM stimuli peaked around 80 ms later compared to the N170 in the static face condition, which can be well explained by a perceptual delay in perceiving SFM stimuli, i.e. the time needed in order to detect an object from the moving dot pattern. We therefore speculate that the N250 we found for SFM stimuli is a perceptual analogue of the N170 for static faces. Support for this claim comes from our finding that the N170 for static faces/chairs can also be shifted depending on the exact time of their presentation (in an experimental condition in which static stimuli become detectable later in the stimulus period, simulating the SFM condition). Taken together, these findings demonstrate a strong dependence of object-related ERP signals on depth/salience of the respective stimulus category and a lack of an unambiguous relationship between the amplitude of object-sensitive ERP components and object categories.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Implicit contextual cueing refers to a top-down mechanism in which visual search is facilitated by learned contextual features. In the current study we aim to investigate the mechanism underlying this process, using a type of context information that has rarely been used, namely object identity. Eye movements were measured during an object based contextual cueing task. We demonstrated that visual search is facilitated by repeated object information and that this reduction in response times is associated with shorter fixation durations, whereas the number of fixations and the saccade amplitude were unaffected. In all, the current study resolves an important issue in object contextual cueing by showing that repeated objects can facilitate visual search through direct modulation of object identification.

Data-driven functional clustering reveals dominance of face, place, and body selectivity in the ventral visual pathway
Publication year: 2012
URL:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22745467
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Regions selective for faces, places, and bodies feature prominently in the literature on the human ventral visual pathway. Are selectivities for these categories in fact the most robust response profiles in this pathway, or is their prominence an artifact of biased sampling of the hypothesis space in prior work? Here we use a data-driven structure discovery method that avoids the assumptions built into most prior work by 1) giving equal consideration to all possible response profiles over the conditions tested, 2) relaxing implicit anatomical constraints (that important functional profiles should manifest themselves in spatially contiguous voxels arising in similar locations across subjects), and 3) testing for dominant response profiles over images, rather than categories, thus enabling us to discover, rather than presume, the categories respected by the brain. Even with these assumptions relaxed, face, place, and body selectivity emerge as dominant in the ventral stream.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
What is the neural code for object shape? Despite intensive research, the precise nature of object representations in high-level visual cortex remains elusive. Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to show that convex shapes are encoded in a privileged fashion by human lateral occipital complex (LOC), a region that has been implicated in object recognition. On each trial, two convex or two concave shapes that were either identical or different were presented sequentially. Critically, the convex and concave stimuli were the same except for a binocular disparity change that reversed the figure–ground assignment. The fMRI response in LOC for convex stimuli was higher for different than that for identical shape pairs, indicating sensitivity to differences in convex shape. However, when the same stimuli were seen as concave, the response for different and identical pairs was the same, indicating lower sensitivity to changes in concave shape than convex shape. This pattern was more pronounced in the anterior than that in the posterior portion of LOC. These results suggest that convex contours could be important elements in cortical object representations.
