Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In the present study, the artist Ingo Swann, who helped develop the process of remote viewing (awareness of distant objects or places without employing normal senses), was exposed during a single setting of 30 min. to specific patterns of circumcerebral magnetic fields that significantly altered his subjective experiences. Several times during subsequent days, he was asked to sit in a quiet chamber and to sketch and to describe verbally distant stimuli (pictures or places) beyond his normal senses. The proportions of unusual 7-Hz spike and slow wave activity over the occipital lobes per trial were moderately correlated (rho=.50) with the ratings of accuracy between these distal, hidden stimuli and his responses. A neuropsychological assessment and Magnetic Resonance Imaging indicated a different structural and functional organization within the parieto-occipital region of the subject's right hemisphere from organizations typically noted. The results suggest that this type of paranormal phenomenon, often dismissed as methodological artifact or accepted as proofs of spiritual existence, is correlated with neurophysiological processes and physical events. Remote viewing may be enhanced by complex experimentally generated magnetic fields designed to interact with the neuromagnetic "binding factor" of consciousness.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In 2002 Persinger, Roll, Tiller, Koren, and Cook considered whether there are physical processes by which recondite information exists within the space and time of objects or events. The stimuli that compose this information might be directly detected within the whole brain without being processed by the typical sensory modalities. We tested the artist Ingo Swann who can reliably draw and describe randomly selected photographs sealed in envelopes in another room. In the present experiment the photographs were immersed continuously in repeated presentations (5 times per sec.) of one of two types of computer-generated complex magnetic field patterns whose intensities were less than 20 nT over most of the area. WINDOWS-generated but not DOS-generated patterns were associated with a marked decrease in Mr. Swann's accuracy. Whereas the DOS software generated exactly the same pattern, WINDOWS software phase-modulated the actual wave form resulting in an infinite bandwidth and complexity. We suggest that information obtained by processes attributed to "paranormal" phenomena have physical correlates that can be masked by weak, infinitely variable magnetic fields.

Various mental activities and brain blood flow measurements using fNIRS
Publication year: 2010
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive imaging method for measuring brain activities. It is considered as useful to test sensitive subjects or to test some kinds of exercises. In the present paper focusing on results of fNIRS, the authors reviewed their studies on taichi-quan, meditative out-of-body experience (OBE), clairvoyance and metal-bending. Brain blood flow increased at pre-frontal area in taichi-quan, while it decreased there in meditative OBE. In guessing (clairvoyance) tasks, a psychic healer showed the increase of brain blood flow at frontal pole, but other subjects were different. Common non-psychic persons seemed to formulate visual images during clairvoyance tasks and they had a tendency to increase brain blood flow at temporal lobe. Moreover, it was suggested that mechanisms of remote viewing work with Psi Tech's techniques were different from ones of clairvoyance of genius psychics. In metal-bending tasks with brute force of hands, brain blood flow increased extremely at frontal pole. It suggested that some kinds of light exercises could activate brain blood flow at important areas which were considered to relate to psi.

Natural anomalous cognition targets: A fuzzy set application
Publication year: 2014
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Fuzzy sets have previously been applied to photographic target stimuli. In this paper, we use the same technology to construct a set of natural sites in the San Francisco Bay area. We created a Universal Set of Elements containing 13 items which created five orthogonal categories: Buildings, Ponds, Towers, Gardens, and Bridges; 22 sites were identified and were independently coded by two volunteers. Thus, the fuzzy sets that represent these sites are a reasonable consensus of their content. This paper describes the construction process in detail, and the appendix shows each site and its associated fuzzy set.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Previous research demonstrated relationship between gradients of entropy of the target stimuli and the resulting quality of the anomalous cognition (AC).
AIM
To verify the above using liquid (LN) nitrogen as an entropy beacon.
METHOD
After an AC session, randomly select one of 22, entropy neutral, natural sites as a stimulus. Randomly dispense 3 L of LN at half of the trials. AC metric was computational figure of merit based on fuzzy sets.
RESULTS
Conducted 72 formal trials using the difference between sessions during which LN was dispensed at the site compared to no liquid nitrogen dispensed at the site. The effect size for the observed distribution difference was 0.251 ± 0.167 leading to a z-score of 1.503 and an associated p-value of .066. We observed a decline effect in that the first half produced a significant result supporting the test hypothesis (zdiff = 1.80, p = .036, ES = 0.425 ± 0.236). One of three participants produced a significant finding (zdiff = 2.23, p = .013, ES = 0.909 ± 0.408).
CONCLUSION
It is likely, but not statistically supported, that changes of thermodynamic entropy at a target stimulus site enhance the AC of that site. There were extensive physical and psychological circumstances that might have accounted in the second half decline.

Title:
Psi performance as a function of demographic and personality factors in smartphone-based tests: Using a “SEARCH” approach.
Publication year: 2021

https://journals.lub.lu.se/jaex/article/view/23419
Abstract/Results: Objective: We set out to gain a better understanding of human psychic or “psi” functioning by using a smartphone-based app to gather data from thousands of participants. Our expectations were that psi performance would often be revealed to be in the direction opposite to the participants’ conscious intentions (“expectation-opposing”; previously called “psi-missing”), and that gender and psi belief would be related to performance. Method:We created and launched three iOS-based tasks, available from 2017 to 2020, related to micro-psychokinesis (the ability to mentally influence a random number generator) and precognition (the ability to predict future randomly selected events). We statistically analyzed data from more than 2,613 unique logins and 995,995 contributed trials using null hypothesis significance testing as well as a pre-registered confirmatory analysis. Results: Our expectations were confirmed, and we discovered additional effects post-hoc. Our key findings were: 1) significant expectation-opposing effects, with a confirmatory pre-registered replication of a clear expectation-opposing effect on a micro-pk task, 2) performance correlated with psi belief on all three tasks, 3) performance on two of the three tasks related to gender, 4) men and women apparently used different strategies to perform micro-pk and precognition tasks. Conclusions: We describe our recommendations for future attempts to better understand performance on forced-choice psi tasks. The mnemonic for this strategy is SEARCH: Small effects, Early and exploratory, Accrue data, Recognize diversity in approach, Characterize rather than impose, and Hone in on big results.

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.

Precognition at the boundaries: An empirical review and theoretical discussion
Publication year: 2023

https://doi.org/10.31156/jaex.24216
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The rigorous scientific study of precognition, the human ability to accurately predict future events that are not already predictable based on information about the past or from the five senses, spans the last 90 years. This review describes different types of precognition, underscores the basic principles of precognition research, and discusses the evidence for and potential mechanisms of two very different forms of precognition: 1) mostly unconscious precognition with short lead times (e.g., presentiment) and 2) mostly conscious precognition with longer lead times (e.g., precognitive remote viewing). I describe two potential models to explain each of these forms of precognition, along with ideas for empirical tests of each one.

The rigorous scientific study of precognition, the human ability to accurately predict future events that are not already predictable based on information about the past or from the five senses, spans the last 90 years. This review describes different types of precognition, underscores the basic principles of precognition research, and discusses the evidence for and potential mechanisms of two very different forms of precognition: 1) mostly unconscious precognition with short lead times (e.g., presentiment) and 2) mostly conscious precognition with longer lead times (e.g., precognitive remote viewing). I describe two potential models to explain each of these forms of precognition, along with ideas for empirical tests of each one.

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.

Final report - A trait-and-state analysis of precognitive remote viewing focusing on gender, emotions, and pregnancy status

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
We and others have found that gender and emotional state influence precognition performance. Here we aimed to further examine trait/state relationships with precognition using a more efficient design and a larger participant population.
Aims
We tested five hypotheses:
1) Feelings of unconditional love support PRV accuracy;
2) Feelings of anxiety reduce PRV accuracy;
3) PRV accuracy is supported by unconditional love in women and anxiety in men;
4) PRV accuracy in women is supported by reproductive hormones;
5) PRV accuracy is supported by interesting targets.
Method
We tested these hypotheses by gathering data from 307 participants under the age of 40, all of whom completed an anxiety and unconditional love survey before performing a brief customdesigned online precognitive remote viewing (PRV) task in which they had to try to describe a photo target that was randomly selected after submitting their description.
Results
Unconditional love supported accuracy on the PRV task (hyp. 1), while feelings of anxiety partially supported PRV accuracy (contrasting hyp. 2). Unconditional love showed no gender difference, but anxiety was related to better performance in women and to worse performance in men (contrasting hyp. 3). Further, women taking reproductive hormones performed no differently from other women (contrasting hyp. 4). Finally, target interestingness supported PRV accuracy (hyp. 5).
Conclusions
A brief PRV task produced significant results even for untrained individuals, suggesting that it taps robust precognition mechanisms that are common across humanity. Further, such a task can be used to probe the influence of emotions and gender, revealing intriguing patterns to examine in future work.
