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.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
The study was based on conceptualizations pertaining to the relationship between meditation, the subjective present, and psychophysiology. We aimed to assess whether physiological changes of heart rate and breathing rate during meditation would influence the timing of perceived events. We employed three psychophysical tasks related to perception of sequence, the integration of metronome beats, and the perception of the Necker cube. The tasks were administered before and after the intervention. Participants were experienced mindfulness meditators who in three separate 10-minute sessions, conducted on three separate days, either meditated by following a meditation session (n=44) or listened to an audio play (n=47). During the intervention heart-rate and breathing rate were recorded and compared to a resting-state condition. Regarding the switching of the Necker cube, breathing rate significantly mediated the effect of meditation across all participants: the slower the breathing during meditation, the slower the switches of the two aspects of the Necker cube. Regarding the metronome task, and over all frequencies, meditation in more experienced meditators (n > 100 hours) lead to a decrease of the duration of integration intervals. For the fastest (ISI = 0.3 s) and slowest (ISI = 3 s) metronome frequencies, an indirect effect occurred: the larger heart rate variability, the larger the integration interval. These findings add evidence to meditation-induced changes in subjective time and the embodiment of mental functioning. The direct effect of smaller integration intervals in the metronome task is indicative of a more pronounced present-moment focus characteristic of deep meditative states.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This study is based on the relationship between meditation, the present moment, and psychophysiology. We employed the metronome task to operationalize the extension of the present moment. A pre-post longitudinal study was conducted. The performance in the metronome task was compared before and after the interventions (meditation, story). The aim was to assess whether physiological changes (heart, breathing) during meditation influence the temporal-integration (TI) of metronome beats. Mindfulness meditators either meditated (n = 41) or listened to a story (n = 43). The heart and breathing activity were recorded during the intervention and compared to a resting-state condition. By applying path analyses we found that meditation led to an increase of the duration of integration intervals at the slowest metronome frequency (inter-stimulus interval, ISI = 3 s). After meditation, the higher the heart-rate variability (i.e., the root mean square of successive differences, RMSSD), the longer the duration of integration intervals at the fastest frequency (ISI = 0.33 s). Moreover, the higher the breathing rate during meditation, the greater the integration of intervals at ISI = 1 s. These findings add evidence to meditation-induced changes on the TI of metronome beats and the concept of the embodiment of mental functioning.
