    • 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.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objectives: The project had its starting point in the paper in Science 1976, on State Specific
Sciences by Charles Tart and the work on shared dreams by Robert Waggoner. Its objective is to
document the frequency of lucid and shared dreams and to find ways of producing potentially
shared states of consciousness in the laboratory.
Method 1: involved surveys of the student population to establish the frequency of the lucid and
shared dreams and select suitable participants.
Results: The major survey found that about 80% of students reported experiencing a least one
lucid dream with 24% of them reporting one or more per a month. The frequent lucid dreamers
were more likely to report more content and communication with dream figures. Shared or mutual
dreams were reported by 13% of the respondents and occurred most often amongst those having
one or more lucid dreams per month. A survey of students sleep habits indicated that so-called
“power naps” are used purposively by 60% of students with 21% of students using them regularly.
Method 2: The use of a special form of stroboscopic stimulation has been reported by Winkler and
Proecki to facilitate the occurrence of lucid dream-like states. Volunteers reporting lucid dreams
and related experiences, were located in separate laboratory and each was given an half hour of
stroboscopic stimulation. A randomly selected melody was played to one of the participants during
each session. The task was for the other participant was able to successively identify it from a
sample of 4 control decoys.
Results: were exactly at chance expectancy. All the hits came from the sessions in which one of the
experimenters was a participant.
Method 3: A further study is being carried out along similar lines but with participants having
power naps in the laboratory using a REM dream monitor. Participants are selected adepts with
frequent lucid dream and dream recall.
Results: are pending.
Conclusions: None of the techniques seem to work with a wide range of participants although a
modification of the ganzfeld using auditory feedback from the lucid dreams of the receiver,
remains as yet untested. We need to work with highly selected individuals and given their
frequency in the population, this is feasible.
