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:
A replication study of an earlier study by Storm and Thalbourne (2001; N = 84) was conducted to test the hypothesis that totally blind people compensate for their vision-impairment by developing superior psi ability compared to sighted people. Participants were required to describe a concealed line drawing, and then rank four pictures (1 target plus 3 decoys) from ‘most likely’ (rank #1) to be the target picture in the envelope to ‘least likely’ (rank #4). The concealed picture was removed from its envelope and assigned its corresponding rank number. Previously, Storm and Thalbourne (2001) found an above-chance success-rate of 28% (where MCE = 25%) for the totally blind (n = 18), which was superior (not significantly) to the hit-rate of 26% for the rest of the sample (i.e., sighted and partially blind participants combined; n = 66). In the replication study (N = 76), the same procedure was followed, but only totally blind and sighted participants were used. The totally blind group and the sighted group both scored at the same below-chance hit-rate of 21% ( = .45, z = 0.51, p = .365). There was no evidence that psi compensates for blindness. When the dataset from the present study was combined with Storm and Thalbourne’s (2001) dataset (total N = 160), the sighted group scored significantly above chance on the sum-of-ranks measure (p = .040). It was argued that if there is compensation for blindness, it might work in ways other than paranormal. It is also possible that blind people may prefer targets that are not of a visual nature.

Psi as compensation for modality impairment: A replication study using sighted and blind participants

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A replication study of an earlier study by Storm and Thalbourne (2001) was conducted to test the hypothesis that blind people compensate for their impairment by developing superior psi ability compared to sighted people. Participants had to describe a concealed line drawing (target), and then rank four drawings (1 target + 3 decoys) from 'most likely' to be the target to 'least likely'. The concealed picture was removed from its envelope and assigned its corresponding rank. A significant psi effect was found for the whole sample, and for the sighted sub-sample, but not the vision-impaired sub-sample. An above-chance success-rate of 28% (p=.54, where pMCE=.50) was found for the totally blind, which was superior (not significantly) to the rest of the sample (i.e., sighted + partially sighted participants) with their hit-rate of 26% (p=.51). In the present replication study, it was hypothesized that totally blind individuals have superior psi test performance to sighted individuals. However, the totally blind group and the sighted group both scored at the same below-chance hit-rate of 21% (p=.365; p=.45). There was thus no evidence that psi compensates for total blindness. When the dataset from the present study was combined with Storm and Thalbourne's (2001) dataset (total N=160), the sighted group scored significantly above chance on the sum-of-ranks measure (p=.040). It was argued that if there is compensation for blindness, it might work in ways other than paranormal.

A replication study of an earlier study by Storm and Thalbourne (2001; N = 84) was conducted to test the hypothesis that totally blind people compensate for their vision-impairment by developing superior psi ability compared to sighted people. Participants were required to describe a concealed line drawing, and then rank four pictures (1 target plus 3 decoys) from ‘most likely’ (rank #1) to be the target picture in the envelope to ‘least likely’ (rank #4). The concealed picture was removed from its envelope and assigned its corresponding rank number. Previously, Storm and Thalbourne (2001) found an above chance success-rate of 28% (where MCE = 25%) for the totally blind (n = 18), which was superior (not significantly) to the hit-rate of 26% for the rest of the sample (i.e., sighted and partially blind participants combined; n = 66). In the replication study (N = 76), the same procedure was followed, but only totally blind and sighted participants were used. The totally blind group and the sighted group both scored at the same below-chance hit-rate of 21% (p = .45, z = -0.51, p = .695). There was no evidence that psi compensates for blindness. When the dataset from the present study was combined with Storm and Thalbourne’s (2001) dataset (total N = 160), the totally blind group (n = 56) and the sighted group (n = 80) both scored below chance, P = 23% (p = .47, z = -0.38, p = .648), and the sighted/partially-sighted group combined (n = 104) also scored below chance, P = 20% hit-rate (p = .43, z = -1.17, p = .879). Again, psi compensation was not found in the blind group. It was concluded that if there is compensation for blindness, it might work in ways other than paranormal. It is also possible that blind people may prefer targets that are not of a visual nature.
