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.

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 describes an attempt to apply a new psi effect, called presentiment or pre-stimulus response (PSR), to produce a reliable time reversed communication channel. In the original PSR protocol single subjects were exposed to randomly timed and chosen stimuli, either audio startles or silent controls. Skin conductance responses (SCR) were measured in the few seconds prior to the stimuli. The frequency of such responses was observed to be significantly higher in pre-audio as opposed to pre-control epochs (Spottiswoode & May, 2003). One interpretation of this result is that the audio stimuli caused subjects to have an SCR in the seconds preceding the startling stimulus. For each stimulus the probability of a subject’s showing a preceding SCR is quite low, however by using many subjects simultaneously it is possible to count SCR’s across the group and statistically determine whether the upcoming stimulus will be an audio or control, thus realising a retro-causal communication channel.
Six trials were performed with between 15 and 52 subjects in each. However the PSR effect did not replicate in the group setting. A total of 219 subjects contributed data and the observed per subject effect size of 0.0163 was significantly smaller than that observed, 0.106, in the single subject PSR trials. Many possible reasons exist for the failure to see the same effect with multiple as with single subjects: the changed setting of the subjects, differences in the subject population, or the possibility that the original single subject PSR results were due to an experimenter effect similar to the mechanism described in Decision Augmentation Theory (May, E. C., Spottiswoode, S. J. P., Utts, J. M., and James, C. L. 1995).. This last notion has been supported by some post hoc analyses by this author.

Skin Conductance Prestimulus Response: Analyses, Artifacts and a Pilot Study
Publication year: 2003

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Previous studies have suggested that the human autonomic nervous system responds to stimuli 2–3 seconds before presentation. In these studies randomly chosen photographs with high and low affectivity were presented to participants.Ensemble averaging of skin conductance in the prestimulus epochs showed a differential response between high and low affectivity photographs. In our protocol the problem of idiosyncratic responses to pictorial stimuli was avoided by using audio startle stimuli. Stimulus type was determined just before presentationby a true randomgenerator. Participantsheard 20 stimuli per session with a 50% chance of an audio startle as against a silent control. Our dependent variable was the proportions of 3-second epochs prior to audio and control stimuli in which a skin conductance response, that is a minimum in skin conductance followed by a maximum, occurred. We found a significant effect (N ˆ 125, Z scoreˆ 3.27, effect size [ES] ˆ 0.0901 6 0.0275, pˆ 5.4 3 10¡4). Explanations for this result as an artifact were examined and rejected. We show that a significant result from an average-based epoch analysis in this type of experiment is not a necessary requirement to demonstrate significant evidence for a prestimulus response. We also observed post hoc that the prestimulus response effect was correlated with participant lability (r ˆ 0.472, df ˆ 21, pˆ0.011).
