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.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Prior studies seem to provide evidence for an anomalous increase in heart rate during the presentation of objects that were later randomly chosen and presented as target objects in a forced-choice guessing task. We investigated 48 participant pairs in a modified paradigm: We implemented a spatially separated partner who handled the particular target object during each of 14 blocks of the task while trying to influence the participant under physiological investigation, by mental means alone. Response differences between targets and nontargets were evaluated by measuring heart rate changes, electrodermal response amplitudes, respiratory changes, and pulse activity. Paranormal belief and partner connectedness were investigated as possible moderator variables for physiological response differences and hit rate. The analyses did not show evidence of anomalous physiological response differences between targets and nontargets (effect sizes < .2, p values> .1) or any influences of moderator variables. Methodological analyses provided evidence for a serial position effect in prior studies; this observation might point toward a particular significance of the last object presentation preceding the prompt to guess. In order to prevent this confound and to avoid biased estimation of the alpha level, future studies should balance stimulus positions.

Psychophysiological reactivity in couples during a marital interaction task
Publication year: 2017

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The ability to regulate our own physiological arousal when dealing with the emotional expression of our partner is crucial for satisfactory and stable intimate relationships. In previous physiological studies of marital interactions, researchers have found greater levels of psychophysiological arousal for members of the couple in conflictual interactions in comparison with positive interactions. Past researchers have established that intense and prolonged autonomic and neuroendocrine arousal during marital conflict can have negative consequences for mental and physical health. In this study we examined the physiological reactivity, as measured by skin conductance level, heart rate and cortisol levels, from both partners during a couple's interaction task consisting of a structured conversation about positive and negative aspects of their relationship. Participants were thirty-two heterosexual couples (N?=?64) in a committed monogamous relationship with a minimum duration of one year. We found higher heart rate and cortisol levels during negative interaction condition when compared with the positive condition. Skin conductance was higher in the positive interaction condition, when compared with the negative interaction condition. In addition, we found a significant negative association between heart rate variability and autonomic arousal evoked by the interaction task. The implications of these findings for the effects of marital strain on health as well as for the design of risk-reducing interventions, namely biofeedback are discussed.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The search for psychophysiological correlates of the social functioning often relies on the individual as the essential unit of observation. With this type of approach it is not always possible to capture specific patterns of responsivity to others' behaviors, especially between close relationship partners. However, this obstacle may be overcome by using a dyadic multivariate approach, which allows to explore the dynamic changes driven by relational processes at both individual and dyadic level (Butler, Gross & Barnard, 2014). Empirical research has documented evidence on the importance of the interplay of physiological responses in the quality of social life and long-term health. This issue is especially critical in marital research, considering findings from recent studies showing that the behavioral influence of each partner on the other occurs also through physiological linkage, which is defined as a coordinated oscillation of the physiological responses between partners (Butler & Randall, 2013; Saxbe & Repetti, 2010). In order to assess this mechanism more directly, we used psychophysiological measures, as measured by the cardiac and electrodermal activities, during a dyadic couple interaction task. In the current study, 30 couples cohabiting together
in a committed relationship, for at least one year, were recruited through a large online subject pool from the university and the general community. The interaction task consisted of a minimally structured conversation in the laboratory setting about positive and negative aspects of their relationship. This ecological laboratory-based interaction was designed to mimic the couples' daily experiences, which involve transactional emotional processes, or the reciprocal interaction of emotions, either negative or positive. The cardiac and electrodermal activities from both spouses were recorded simultaneously using a data
acquisition system coupled to two amplifiers for each physiological modality. For the purpose of assessing the change scores during the interaction task, a 2-minute minimally demanding baseline task was performed by both members of the dyad. After the task, self-report

Absence of reliable physiological signature of illusory body ownership revealed by fine-grained autonomic measurement during the rubber hand illusion
Publication year: 2021

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0237282
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The neural representation of a ‘biological self’ is linked theoretically to the control of bodily physiology. In an influential model, selfhood relates to internal agency and higher-order interoceptive representation, inferred from the predicted impact of efferent autonomic nervous activity on afferent viscerosensory feedback. Here we tested if an altered representation of physical self (illusory embodiment of an artificial hand) is accompanied by sustained shifts in autonomic activity. Participants (N = 37) underwent procedures for induction of the rubber hand illusion (synchronous stroking of own unseen hand and observed stroking of artificial hand) and a control condition (asychronous stroking). We recorded electrocardiography, electrodermal activity, and a non-invasive measure of multiunit skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) from the chest. We compared these autonomic indices between task conditions, and between individuals who did and did not experience the illusion. Bayes factors quantified the strength of evidence for and against null hypotheses. Observed proprioceptive drift and subjective reports confirmed the efficacy of the synchronous (vs asynchronous) condition in inducing illusory hand ownership. Stringent discriminant analysis classified 24/37 individuals as experiencing the rubber hand illusion. Surprisingly, heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, and SKNA measures revealed no autonomic differences between synchronous vs asynchronous conditions, nor between individuals who did or did not experience the rubber hand illusion. Bayes factors indicated substantial evidence for no physiological differences. In contrast to earlier reports, our autonomic data show the absence of a reliable change in physiological state during the rubber hand illusion. More encompassing perturbations of self-experience, for example in full body illusions, may nevertheless be coupled to, or facilitated by, changes in efferent autonomic activity and afferent viscerosensory feedback. Our findings suggest that such changes in bodily physiology are not sustained as an obligatory component of the rubber hand illusion.
