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.

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: RESULTS:
This project was designed to replicate and extend a series of experiments, known as “presentiment” or “pre-stimulus response” experiments, that provide evidence of human emotional system response prior to aversive stimuli.
To examine test-retest reliability 80 subjects were tested on two occasions in an experiment that monitored skin conductance while they viewed briefly exposed images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS). Subjects also completed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the NEO-FFI personality tests.
With 64 subjects providing usable data, there was no overall evidence of a presentiment or pre-stimulus response, nor was there any evidence of test-retest reliability. Surprisingly, there were significant correlations between a subject's pre-stimulus response and the MBTI Intuition factor and the NEO-FFI Openness factor, both of which have shown similar relationships in prior ESP research. No other personality factors showed any relationships.
Subsidiary analyses confirmed findings by other researchers that the evidence for pre-stimulus response is not the slow rise of tonic skin conductance levels but rather the accumulation of more non-specific skin conductance responses immediately prior to aversive stimuli. Also, analysis of the data rejected expectancy artifacts as a possible explanation for pre-stimulus response findings.

Exploring the reliability of the “presentiment” effect
Publication year: 2004

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This project extends a series of experiments begun by Radin that appears to demonstrate an autonomic nervous system (ANS) response to future emotionally arousing experiences. This experiment used skin conductance as the ANS measure and was designed to examine test-retest reliability in the "presentiment" effect, also known as "prestimulus response" (PSR). The experiment also looked for individual differences in PSR responding using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the NEO-FFI personality inventories. Volunteer participants completed two sessions of viewing 40 calm and arousing images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) while SC was monitored. The PSR window was defined as 3 seconds before stimulus onset, and the measure of PSR was the area between the mean relative SC levels for the two classes of stimuli within the prestimulus window. Significance was determined using a Monte Carlo method. A novel analysis technique of de-trending the SC data immediately before the PSR analysis window was used to counter the possible effect of expectancy and other artifacts. Eighty planned participants were tested. Sixteen were eliminated from further analysis because of lack of any SCRs, leaving 64 participants in the final data pool. The experiment did not produce overall evidence of a presentiment effect, nor did it demonstrate test-retest reliability. Since this experiment deviated from prior methods of analysis the data were examined without detrending and automatic artifact removal, but there was still no evidence of a presentiment effect. Of three personality factors previously associated with better ESP scoring, MBTI Extraversion, MBTI Intuition, and NEO Openness, the last two were positively and significantly correlated with individual mean PSR. The data were explicitly tested for the presence of an expectancy artifact by correlating the PSR prior to arousing stimuli with the time since the last arousing stimulus. The correlations for both the de-trended data and the original method of analysis were negligible and non-significant, providing no evidence that an expectancy artifact was present.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Recent experiments have demonstrated that the body is capable of generating an “orienting response” several seconds before a randomly timed emotional shock is delivered. If the brain is responding to future information, as these experiments indicate, this suggests that the emotional system may play a role in the type of intuition that involves anomalous communication. This project builds upon this work by determining if this response, called “pre-stimulus response” (PSR) is sufficiently reliable to be used to identify exceptional intuitive talent. Additionally the project examined individual differences in PSR using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the NEI-FFI tests.
Volunteer participants completed two sessions of viewing 40 calm and arousing images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) while SC was monitored. The PSR window was defined as 3 seconds before stimulus onset, and the measure of PSR was the area between the mean relative SC levels for the two classes of stimuli within the prestimulus window. Significance was determined using a Monte Carlo method. A novel analysis technique of de-trending the SC data immediately before the PSR analysis window was used to counter the possible effect of expectancy and other artifacts. Eighty planned subjects were tested. Sixteen were eliminated from further analysis because of lack of minimum SCRs, leaving 64 subjects in the final data pool.
The experiment did not produce overall evidence of a PSR effect, nor did it demonstrate test-retest reliability. Test-retest reliability of the normal post-stimulus SCR was found to be robust. Of three personality factors previously associated with better ESP scoring in other experiments, MBTI Extraversion, MBTI Intuition, and NEO Openness, the last two were positively and significantly correlated with individual mean PSR, confirming the earlier work. A detailed examination of the possibility of an expectancy artifact was made. No evidence of an expectancy artifact was found, contrary to the arguments of some researchers.
