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.

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.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Recently virtual reality has been used to treat acrophobia trough the simulation of phobic situations. The majority of these studies doesn’t have control groups, are single case studies or had used virtual reality before real exposition. For the acrophobia treatment we replicate in virtual ambience a real local (a building with 8 stories in Braga – Portugal). 10 subjects have been submitted to virtual reality exposition and the other 5 to a real ambience exposition. As the subjects approach the balcony, claim stores or report lower levels of subjective discomfort units the therapist offers verbal orientation and encouragement to the subjects (in the real and the virtual environments). The subjects are continually instructed and encouraged to explore the environment, look at the ground and stay as long as possible in each situation until their anxiety diminishes. In what concerns the virtual reality group instead of the short exposition the subjects after the treatment are able to claim more steps with less anxiety. In a follow-up year they are able to maintain these gains. Both groups didn’t show significant differences in what concerns the behaviour performance (number of steps claimed in a fire ladder) and the attitude towards heights and the acrophobia questionnaires. The treatment time has been very different between both treatments. The average treatment time for the virtual reality group has been 22,3 minutes and for the reality group has been 51,7 minutes. We can’t assume that the treatment with virtual reality is better or worse than the treatment with real environments, but we can say that the virtual reality treatment has real benefits and these are maintained in one-year time.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We present a study with 10 subjects being exposed to three sessions of simulated heights in a virtual reality (VR) system. Among the participants we highlight a 66-year-old man blind in his left eye. The participants show significant progress in anxiety, avoidance, and behavior measurements when confronted with real height circumstances. The results obtained 1 year later at follow-up are statistically significant in the Behavioral Avoidance Test (BAT) and the Attitudes Toward Heights Questionnaire (ATHQ), but not the Acrophobia Questionnaire (AQ).

Etiologia das fobias específicas

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Fears are adaptive when they permit a fast and powerful response to an eminent threat. Less adaptive, phobias are an extreme manifestation of fear to an object or situation, in the absence of a proportional danger. Although the utility of fear has been accepted, the nature of phobias is still controversial. There is no consensus about how phobias are acquired. Rachman (1978) added vicarious learning and information to conditioning as learning pathways of specific phobias. In this article we salient a fourth pathway, suggested by Marks (1987) based on Charles Darwin’s reference that some fears can arise by natural selection in a given specie. Recently Poulton and Menzies (1998, 1999, 2002a) have performed an important group of investigations that strengths this non-associative pathway of fear acquisition. Accordingly to them evolutionary relevant fears can occur without any need of critical learning experiences, and inversely, in some people, the absence of fear to some.

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.

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).

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The virtual reality systems (VR) have been more and more used in the field of psychology. Since the hardware is getting cheaper, and the VR systems can create a greater variety of stimuli and situations, practitioners and investigators have been increasingly exploring the potentialities of this technology. With the present work we try to contribute to the study and implementation of the therapeutic potentialities of this system. We have chosen acrophobia as the treatment’s target, and a VR system as the mediator of the participant’s exposure. The study’s results show that, despite the low exposure time, the participants of the VR group were able to climb more steps with less anxiety after the treatment. It is also noteworthy that these results were maintained on a one-year follow-up. There were also positive and statistically significant results for the participants in the real environment group, which clearly shows the already known therapeutic value of the exposure therapies. The two groups didn’t show significant differences when comparing the treatment’s efficacy. We also observed that a lot of the symptoms referred in the SSQ questionnaire were not only displays of nausea, but also of fear. We noticed that the VR treatment has real and long-term advantages, not only for its efficacy, but also for the fact that it facilitates the confidentiality of the therapeutic exposure. This kind of intervention also makes it easier for the therapist and the client to start and finish the exposure whenever they want, which gives more control to the client. The VR facilitates the balance between the ecological and the experimental observation, making it easier to evaluate the progress of the participants. The virtual exposure is a promising way for intervention with people with specific phobias, and in this work we noticed that its application to individuals with fear of heights is effective.
