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.

A feedback model of figure-ground assignment

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19146243
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A computational model is proposed in order to explain how bottom-up and top-down signals are combined into a unified perception of figure and background. The model is based on the interaction between the ventral and the dorsal stream. The dorsal stream computes saliency based on boundary signals provided by the simple and the complex cortical cells. Output from the dorsal stream is projected to the surface network which serves as a blackboard on which the surface representation is formed. The surface network is a recurrent network which segregates different surfaces by assigning different firing rates to them. The figure is labeled by the maximal firing rate. Computer simulations showed that the model correctly assigns figural status to the surface with a smaller size, a greater contrast, convexity, surroundedness, horizontal-vertical orientation and a higher spatial frequency content. The simple gradient of activity in the dorsal stream enables the simulation of the new principles of the lower region and the top-bottom polarity. The model also explains how the exogenous attention and the endogenous attention may reverse the figural assignment. Due to the local excitation in the surface network, neural activity at the cued region will spread over the whole surface representation. Therefore, the model implements the object-based attentional selection.

A computational model of saliency map read-out during visual search
Publication year: 2008
URL:
http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-540-87559-8_45
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
When searching for a target in a visual scene filled with distractors, the mechanism of inhibition of return prevents revisiting previously attended locations. We proposed a new computational model for the inhibition of return, which is able to examine priority or saliency map in a manner consistent with psychophysical findings. The basic elements of the model are two neural integrators connected with two inhibitory interneurons. The integrators keep the saliency value of the currently attended location in the working memory. The inhibitory inter-neurons modulate a feedforward flow of information between the saliency map and the output map which points to the location of interest. Computer simulations showed that the model is able to read-out the saliency map when the objects are moving or when eye movements are present. Also, it is able to simultaneously select more then one location, even when they are non-contiguous. The model can be considered as a neural implementation of the episodic theory of attention.

The P300 signal is monotonically modulated by target saliency level irrespective of the visual feature domain
Publication year: 2010
URL:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1755-3768.2010.4325.x/abstract
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
PURPOSE:
Event related responses to infrequent and task-relevant stimuli often include an attentional peak, the P300 component. This component is typically regarded as independent from the sensory modality, with amplitude depending on target occurrence probability. In this study, we investigated whether the P300 signal could similarly be modulated by the degree of perceptual difference across visual target properties.
METHODS:
We used an oddball block design with texture and colour as perceptual category features and a frequency ratio of 1:16. EEG/ERP responses were recorded from 68 channels in 9 healthy participants, matched for age and educational level. For the colour condition, 3 targets with increasing steps of categorical deviation in perceived redness from the standard stimulus were used. Concerning the texture segmentation condition, 3 targets with increasing spatial phase difference were chosen. Colour target patches were presented against a reference background of a standard additive primary red patch, and texture patches against a standard grating one with no phase segregation contrast.
RESULTS:
Repeated measure analysis results suggest a significant modulation of P300 amplitude target levels in midline central and parietal channels for both conditions. Significant Spearman correlations (positive with amplitude and negative with latency) support this order effect between target perceptual level and the P300 response.
CONCLUSION:
We conclude that the amplitude and latency of the P300 response is monotonically modulated by saliency levels of distinct target categories.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
When looking at visual images, the eyes move to the most salient and behaviourally relevant objects. Saliency and semantic information significantly explain where people look. Less is known about the spatiotemporal properties of eye movements (i.e., how people look). We show that three latent variables explain 60% of eye movement dynamics of more than a hundred observers looking at hundreds of different natural images. The first component explaining 30% of variability loads on fixation duration, and it does not relate to image saliency or semantics; it approximates a power-law distribution of gaze steps, an intrinsic dynamic measure, and identifies observers with two viewing styles: static and dynamic. Notably, these viewing styles were also identified when observers look at a blank screen. These results support the importance of endogenous processes such as intrinsic dynamics to explain eye movement spatiotemporal properties.
