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:	RESULTS: In the course of this project three experiments were conducted, all using SC as the indicator of psi. In the first experiment IAPS pictures, mostly of mutilated bodies, erotic and neutral scenes, were presented to the sender whilst mean log SC and mean variance of SC were taken as dependent measures. There was an emotional-neutral as well as a positive-negative-neutral comparison. The results can be seen in table 1. Only for mean variance in the differential comparison was a strong trend observed (?² = 8.197, df = 2, p = 0.017, two-tailed). In the second experiment (N = 30) threatening video clips of dangerous animals were used. No significant differences were observed. Post hoc, a significant correlation was found between the gender of the sender and receiver and psi performance (F = 9.258, df = 1, p = 0.005) for mean log SC. A similar pattern was observed for mean variance. The interaction was such that when the gender of the sender and receiver was different psi performance was high (see figure 1). The third experiment (N = 18) compared picture and video conditions directly. Differences in all comparisons were in the predicted direction, with a strong trend for mean variance in the clip condition (see table2). No significant gender interactions were observed, but the pattern for mean variance for clips was similar to that observed in the previous experiment. This suggests the pattern may be genuine. On the whole, the project found only marginal evidence for psi, but this exploration into emotional picture and clip stimulus material may prove valuable to future researches. As for individual differences, no relationships between personality and psi performance were observed. The gender interaction may be confirmed by further study.

Title:	The effect of remote emotion on receiver skin conductance
Publication year:	2005
URL:	http://www.spr.ac.uk/psedsite/confprogramme.php3?year=2005
Abstract/Results:	ABSTRACT: The role of emotion in extended communication (this term is used here to avoid the telepathy/PK debate) is not fully understood. Case reports that indicate a large emotional component to apparently paranormal experiences have prompted experimental research investigating this relationship. However, most studies have used a conscious response measure and the use of (mostly subconscious) physiological measures has been suggested in the past (Beloff, 1974). Since then skin conductance (SC) has become a popular measure in parapsychology, but most studies using SC have focused on a remote influence paradigm, rather than on the effects of distant emotions. It makes sense to study remote emotion using physiological measures, since a close association exists between conscious emotional experience and physiological arousal. Undifferentiated physiological responses can lead to an ambiguous cognitive evaluation (Cacioppo et al, 2004), therefore physiology might provide a more clear cut psi measure. Studies of remote emotion using physiological measures are currently infrequent. One example of a study using SC (which did not include a negative condition) found higher activation in the positive as opposed to the neutral condition (Delanoy and Sah, 1994). There have been very few SC studies investigating remote emotion since. A recent experiment done by Radin and Schlitz (2005) also found physiological effects of remote emotion, although they used an electrogastrogram instead of SC. Another problem concerning SC studies in particular is the use of parameters that are most suitable to detect distant effects. The most widely used parameter is the mean level of the SC, but this might not be the most appropriate one (Schmidt et al., 2001). A recent reevaluation of two SC studies hinted that the variance of the SC might be a more useful parameter (Stevens, 2000). The present study examines the effect of remote emotion (sender viewing emotional pictures) on the SC of the receiver. It is predicted that emotional target pictures viewed by a sender will alter the receiver's SC ("main analysis"). Furthermore, any differential effect of positive and/or negative targets will be examined ("differential analysis"). The above mentioned comparisons will be made using the mean standardized SC (msSC) and mean variance of the SC, thus allowing them to be evaluated as psi measures.

Title:	ESP of emotions using skin conductance as indicator of psi
Publication year:	2008

Abstract/Results:	ABSTRACT: There is evidence that emotions play a role in the occurrence of psi, but the exact role of emotions is not well understood. This study investigated the possibility that emotional reactions of a 'sender' could be detected unconsciously by a 'receiver' who was located in a sensorially shielded room. Positive, negative and neutral pictures from the IAPS were shown to the sender while the receiver's skin conductance was measured. 54 participant pairs were tested. It was predicted that both positive and negative pictures would result in increased receiver skin conductance activity as opposed to neutral pictures, and that positive and negative pictures would have differential effects. The dependent variables were mean log transformed skin conductance and mean variance of skin conductance. The results showed no significant difference between the emotional and the neutral conditions and no effect of the combined emotional conditions on mean variance. A differential analysis of the positive, negative and neutral conditions showed that mean log skin conductance was highest in the negative condition, but not to a significant degree. There was, however, a strong trend for the mean variance to be lower in the positive condition ( ² = 8.197, df = 2, p = 0.017, two-tailed). Overall, the results revealed a pattern of higher activation in the negative condition. Methodological issues and directions for future research are discussed.
