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: The Ganzfeld ESP protocol has become one of the most common experimental procedures used in parapsychological research, despite inconsistencies in different meta-analysis questioning its reliability. Such inconsistencies may simply suggest a need to standardise the procedure but could also be due to our lack of theoretical understanding of how ESP might operate. Although practically nothing is known about how any information might be transferred, several potential mechanisms are generally considered to have been ruled out by theoretical considerations of the bandwidth required to transmit the complex information required to identify the target. Such ‘mental radio’ models do have many problems - the low emissive capabilities of bio-systems, apparent ESP over large distances and degradation by noise - and this is generally taken to mean that ESP must not be a signal in classical terms. However, an alternative suggestion may be that no target-specific information is transferred at all. Instead, ‘signaling’ of a much simpler kind may play a vital role. This study presented a model that could apply to cases of anomalous information transfer where there is some form of sensory feedback from receiver to sender. It proposes that a ‘psi stimulus’ is generated by a sender in response to real-time feedback of target-relevant receiver mentation, this stimulus acting to reinforce current mentation by momentarily changing physiological arousal and so reducing the need for complex information transfer. Experimental evaluation of the model involved two extensions to the standard Ganzfeld ESP design: (1) in one condition the sender received false feedback of receiver mentation; (2) receiver skinconductance was recorded during mentation. No evidence of ESP was found based on target-rank (pi = 0.49) but the predicted skin-conductance response to target-relevant mentation was observed, with significantly higher arousal for relevant mentation than in baseline periods (p=0.04, 1-t). Arousal was increased in both conditions, indicating that the receiver’s physiological response related to the sender’s reactions and not directly to the target material. This could suggest that the process involved is more akin to micro/bioPK, with the sender influencing the receiver’s arousal at times of relevant mentation.
