    • 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.

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:
BACKGROUND
The processing of emotions from facial expression is an automatic process every day. However, how different emotional expressions affect our performance and social behaviour remains poorly understood.
AIM
The aim of the study is to investigate how the process of different emotional expressions modulate the neural activity supporting attention dependent behavioural responses. Specifically, by defining the mechanisms through which emotional processes interfere with basic cognitive and behavioural functions, we aim to provide a novel insight to the brain basis for Social anxiety.
METHOD
In the current study, we examined the impact of emotional face stimuli (presented in the interval of the forewarned reaction time task) on the Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) and related brain activity. CNV refers to anticipation related slow cortical potential that is a signature of attention related cortical excitation. 15 healthy participants and 5 patients with social anxiety disorder took part in a combined neuroimaging (fMRI) simultaneous EEG study.
RESULTS
Contrary to our prediction, CNV amplitude increased significantly with presentation of both face and non-face stimuli during the delay period of the CNV task. Furthermore, there was a significant modulation of CNV amplitude by emotion type: CNV amplitude was greater for happy and angry compared to fear and disgust face stimuli. Correspondingly, neural activity within thalamus, supplemental motor area (SMA), dorsal anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortices was greater for happy and anger compared to fear and disgust CNV conditions. Activity within pons was attenuated for happy and anger conditions relative to fear and disgust. Negative face expressions (fear, disgust and anger) activated the amygdala providing a route for expression of social anxiety on preparatory attention.
CONCLUSION
Specific emotional expressions differentially affect CNV amplitude: specifically a difference is noted between the effects of approach emotions (anger, happiness) compared to withdrawal emotions (fear, disgust).
