  • Enter your search phrase in the search box.
  • General search:
    • 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.
    • Search in the field assumes by default the expression in quotes, e.g. European union will retrieve all records containing the literal term "European Union"
  • To perform more complex searches, additional words or expressions may be added.
  • If you want to refine the search results, you can always access the link "search" in the upper left corner of the page of search results.
  • The search engine is not case sensitive. For example, the word congress has the same meaning that Congress or CONGRESS.
  • To truncate your search expression, use the $ character
  • You can filter the results of your search by a date or date range, filling the appropriate boxes.

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.

Title:
Tool identity and subsequent use affects the kinematics of grasping movements
Publication year: 2018

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Tools are manipulable objects that, unlike other objects in the world (e.g., buildings), afford specific action procedures closely linked to object identity. Several studies have shown that differences between structural (e.g., spoon handle size, shape and orientation) and learned functional (e.g., stir, poor or feed) properties of tools can translate to distinct motor affordances. Most studies to date however have used pictures instead of real tools and measured reaction times rather than hand movement kinematics. To investigate how tool identity and subsequent use affect grasping kinematics 18 participants performed two grasping tasks with their right-hand: 1) grasp-to-use (GTU), where participants grasped a tool to demonstrate its typical use; and 2) grasp-to-move (GTM) where participants grasped a tool to move it from one location to another. Critically, participants grasped real 3D familiar kitchen tools with the same handle, so that any kinematic effects could not be simply due to the structural differences between tool handles. Moreover, to control for differences between GTU and GTM kinematics we only analysed the first portion of the movement (i.e., grasping the handle), as this was identical between tasks and tools. We found that participants presented larger grip apertures for the GTU than the GTM tasks, which may reflect differences in the kinematics of subsequent actions following the handle grasp. Moreover, for both tasks participants presented larger grip apertures for tools that had larger tool heads (e.g., whisk) compared to tools with smaller tool heads (e.g., knife), even though the tool handle that was grasped was of identical size across tools. These results indicate that tool identity plays a critical role in action planning and execution.
