Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Ganzfeld stimulation is associated with increased attention to internal mentation. Investigators suggested this association to develop an experimental hypnagogic technique to facilitate the study of hypnagogic imagery. This experiment studied a psi-conducive state (ganzfeld) comparing with a GESP telepathy focused technique in a free-response GESP test. One hundred thirty-eight subjects attended two trials of GESP. The first author (AP) was the experimenter and second author (JV) was the unaware sender to all of the sample. A CDR contained 3,500 high resolution color pictures was used as image-targets. Also, ganzfeld non-ganzfeld conditions were randomized. The difference between both condition was also significative (expected= 25%; ganzfeld= 41.3%, p< .001 vs. non-ganzfeld= 27.5).
Also, this report studied the relationship between personality factors with ESP scores using ganzfeld technique. Two personality inventories (Eysenck Personality Inventory and Sixteen Personality Factors) were administered. Though this study did not show significative results, such as N or E scores with direct ESP scores, psi-hitting was found by Sanguine female and Choleric male subjects personality profile, which rise from N and E scores combination. Significative difference between ESP hits and the 16PF factors were not found. We also reported a study to compare auditory with visual stimuli via ESP. Musical styles were chosen as targets. Fifty four subjects attended two GESP sessions. A CDR contained highresolution color pictures and other CD contained 112 themes on mp3 format were used each subject. Both experiments, musical- (p < .008) and visual-target condition (p= .001) in a positive direction for the visual target condition, scored psi-hitting.

ESP under the ganzfeld, in contrast with the induction of relaxation as a psi-conducive state
Publication year: 2006
URL:
http://aiprinc.org/abstracts_6.htm
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Ganzfeld stimulation is associated with an increase in attention to internal imagery. Investigators have suggested the association with a view to developing an “experimental hypnagogic” technique in order to facilitate the study of hypnagogic imagery. The present experiment uses a telepathy-focused, non-ganzfeld condition, the findings of which were compared to the ganzfeld technique, in counter-balanced order. One hundred and thirty-eight participants attended two GESP trials at the Institute for Paranormal Psychology, in Buenos Aires. The majority of the participants (93.5%) reported previous personal experiences suggestive of psi. The first author was the experimenter and the second author was the sender for the entire sample. Two questionnaires were administered before, and one after, the ganzfeld session, to evaluate mental activity, bodily changes, pleasant experiences, and change in state of awareness. A CD-R containing 3,500 high-resolution colour pictures was used to provide image-targets. We would conclude that this experiment offered some support to the claim that ganzfeld stimulation is psi-conducive, to the extent that there was a significant difference between the two test conditions, in a direction favouring the ganzfeld condition. Expected percentage of hits was 25%. The ganzfeld gave 41.3% hits, p < .001, the non-ganzfeld 27.5%, and the difference between the two conditions was also significant, p = .016. No relationship was found between prior psi experiences and ESP scores. Nevertheless, we did not conclude that the “good” ESP results using ganzfeld were related to a modified state of consciousness because these results might depend upon other variables independent of the non-ordinary state.

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.

Are musical themes better than visual images as ESP-targets? An experimental study using the ganzfeld technique
Publication year: 2004

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The ability to detect emotion in music has many educational and practical benefits. However, there appear to be few studies reported in the literature in which sounds have been used as stimuli in extrasensory tests. The present study was undertaken in order to compare auditory with visual stimuli and to explore whether psychological factors which appear to be favourable in music tests are related to ESP. Musical styles were chosen as targets in this experiment. Fifty-four participants attended two GESP sessions (each on a different occasion) at the Institute of Paranormal Psychology in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The first author (AP) was the experimenter, who received each participant, and the second author (JV) was the blind 'sender' for all of the sample. A CD.R containing 3,500 high. resolution colour pictures and another CD containing 112 themes in MP3 format were used, on the two different occasions. Stimulus targets were randomly selected. Both conditions yielded significant results (psi-hitting)-the musical-target condition (p = .008) and the visual-target condition (p = .001), the latter somewhat more significant, but the difference between the two was not significant.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This is a report of a study of the relationship between personality factors and ESP scores obtained using the ganzfeld technique, which has had a modest but consistent number of successes in various laboratories. Eysenck's (1967) linking of extraversion and arousal was deemed potentially important to ESP performance. The relationship between ESP performance and individual differences and several personality dimensions have been studied, according to Honorton's model which predicts the personality characteristics of successful ganzfeld participants. One hundred and thirty-eight participants attended one ganzfeld session (telepathy-focused) at the Institute of Paranormal Psychology, Argentina. The first author (AP) was the experimenter, who received each participant, and the second author (JV) was sender for each participant. Two personality inventories (the Eysenck Personality Inventory and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire) were administered before each ganzfeld session. Overall results of this experiment offered some four personality profiles that arise from a combination of N and E scores. Though this study did not show significant results relating direct hits to E or N scores or the 16PF factors, they were found for sanguine females and choleric male subjects. Cholerics obtained more hits than did melancholics.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This is a report of an experiment of two dimensions of personality (extraversion–introversion and neuroticism) and ESP in the Ganzfeld. Our hypotheses were that ESP high-scores would be related to extraversion high-scores and to neuroticism low-scores. Thirty subjects (receivers) were individually tested in a thirty-minute long Ganzfeld at the Instituto de Psicología Paranormal in Buenos Aires. Each receiver answered two questionnaires before the Ganzfeld session: Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), which measure two personality traits (neuroticism and introversion/extraversion) and the Pre-Ganzfeld Questionnaire, which rated their level of relaxation, mood, and expectation of success and motivation. One of us (JV) was the sender for all the sample. Each receiver had to guess a target photograph taken from a CD that had 3,500 color photos of high resolution. We found a significant relationship between extraversion and ESP scores (Fisher’s exact test p= .008, one-tailed, Phi= .482) (N= 25). There were no significant effects between ESP scores and neuroticism (Fisher’s exact test p= .56 [one-tailed]). There were also no significant effects between ESP scores and relaxation, mood, motivation and expectative of success before Ganzfeld session. A discussion of the possibility that the Ganzfeld technique interacts in some way with extraversion and other variables that may explain the significant effect we obtained regarding extraversion-introversion is presented.

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.

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.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Ganzfeld stimulation is associated to an increase of attention to internal imagery. Investigators have suggested the association to develop an “experimental–hypnagogic” technique to facilitate the study of hypnagogic imagery, an association such as the ganzfeld technique. Three experiments were carried out by us. The first one, non-ganzfeld condition is compared with ganzfeld technique. Both conditions were counter-balanced. One hundred thirty-eight subjects attended two trials of GESP. A CD–R contained 3,500 high–resolution color pictures was used as image-targets. This experiment offered some support to the claim that ganzfeld stimulation is psi conducive. A significant difference between both condition were obtained, in a positive direction to the Ganzfeld condition (p< .0003). The difference was also significant (expected= 25%; ganzfeld= 41.3%, p< .001 vs. nonganzfeld= 27.5, z-score= 1.71; p= .043, one-tailed). The second one reports a relationship between personality factors and ESP scores. Neuroticism and Extraversion scores (using two personality inventories) were correlated with ESP scores. Though this study did not show significant results to E or N and the 16PF factors, cholerics obtained more hits than did melancholics (four personality profiles arise from a combination of N and E scores). The third one compared auditory with visual stimuli under ganzfeld condition. Musical styles were chosen as targets. A part of the early sample (N= 54) attended two GESP sessions. Color pictures and 112 themes on mp3 were randomized each ganzfeld session. Musical- (p < .008) and visual-target condition (p= .001) in a positive direction for the visual target condition, obtained psi-hitting.
