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:
Two studies were carried out to test the general prediction from First Sight Theory that psi processes continuously contribute unconsciously to the formation of all experience and behavior. The expression of preferences was chosen to demonstrate these effects, as well as the effects of subliminal stimuli. Positively-toned pictures were exposed subliminally and used as ESP targets in order to influence subsequent preferences, as in a typical study of the Mere Exposure Effect. In both studies the mood of the percipient was manipulated and assessed, and several stable characteristics of personality and interest that were previously found to affect extrasensory and subliminal effects were measured. In the first study pre-exposed pictures were not preferred overall compared to ones not pre-exposed. Extrasensory influence was predicted successfully by several variables, particularly with participants in a positive mood. Several predictor variables were correlated with each other, so multiple regression was used to determine that Openness to Fantasy, Tolerance for Merger and Vulnerability (negative) were independently significant predictors. Subliminal influence was predicted by Need for Cognition and Unconscious Orientation. These relationships were tested again in the second study and the predictions of ESP influence were confirmed but the predictions of subliminal influence were not. Prediction of extrasensory effects was again strongest with persons in positive moods. It is concluded that extrasensory influences do contribute unconsciously to preference experiences in ways that are consistent with findings of previous research and the expectations of theory. A model is suggested in which experience is influenced contextually by both extrasensory and subliminal information in a continual way, but that these influences are moderated by an individual’s emotional state and then moderated again by characteristic patterns of interests, needs and goals. These studies are part of a program of research intended to elucidate how extrasensory perception functions unconsciously and continuously in everyday life. A report on study one was presented to the Parapsychology Association in August, 2009.

Title:
Personality traits and pattern of beliefs of near-death(-like) experiencers
Publication year: 2023

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Little is known about the potential personality and psychological predictors of near-death experiences (NDEs), and fewer yet those of near-death-like experiences (NDEs-like; similar phenomenology reported after a non-life-threatening context). This study investigated whether personality traits (Openness, Extraversion, Pleasantness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism), dissociative experiences, Fantasy proneness, disposition toward auditory hallucinations, absorption trait, and endorsement of paranormal and spiritual beliefs could be associated with the recall of NDEs(-like).
Methods: To this aim, we invited four groups of people to retrospectively fill in questionnaires assessing the following factors: NDE experiencers (n = 63), NDE(-like) experiencers (n = 31), controls with a life-threatening situation but no NDE(-like) (n = 43), and controls without a life-threatening situation or an NDE(-like) (n = 44). We carried out univariate analyses for each factor and then performed a multiple regression analysis and a discriminant analysis.
Results: The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the endorsement of spiritual beliefs was associated with the recall of NDEs-like while Openness and Fantasy proneness were associated with the recall of NDEs. The discriminant analysis showed that these variables produce 35% of correct classification.
Discussion: Albeit retrospective, these results pave the way for future research on psychological predictors of NDEs(-like) by highlighting the influence of Spirituality, Openness, and Fantasy proneness on these phenomena.
