Title:	BIAL Foundation Archive
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: Practitioners from a variety of spiritual traditions occasionally report strong psychophysiological reactions when a spiritual teacher (“guru”) who has achieved some level of mastery directs his or her attention toward the practitioner. Close proximity between guru and practitioner is purportedly not a limitation in transmitting or receiving spiritual transmission. We asked a guru to periodically send energy remotely to six recipients, one at a time, while they were isolated in our lab’s electromagnetically shielded chamber some 50 meters away. We recorded the recipients’ EEG (32 channels) and several autonomic measures throughout the testing period. None of the recipients knew the guru, and all were blind to when he was sending energy. Analysis of the resulting data suggested that in some recipients the remote intervention by the guru appeared to produce significant variations in physiology. We also studied the effect on the recipients’ physiology to the physical proximity of the guru, as compared to a “sham guru,” i.e., an actor playing the part of a guru. Again we found indications of differences in physiological reaction in some of the participants depending on whether the guru was real or sham. This preliminary investigation indicates that it is possible to study claims about spiritual transmission effects using psychophysiological methods under controlled conditions, and it also suggests that at least some of the traditionally reported effects about shaktipat might be objectively measurable.

Abstract/Results:	ABSTRACT: Practitioners from a wide variety of spiritual traditions occasionally report strong psychophysiological responses when they are in the presence of a spiritual teacher who has achieved some level of mastery, particularly when the teacher directs attention or intention toward the practitioner. While many such anecdotal reports of this phenomenon exist, almost no empirical research has been conducted to examine it. There are no studies published that we are aware of in the major scientific databases referring to empirical laboratory studies of spiritual transmission (shaktipat). The aim of the proposed work is to objectively examine the psychophysiological correlates of spiritual transmission in both transmitters and recipients under controlled laboratory conditions. Spiritual transmission is said to occur through sight, sound, touch, or thought. For example, the teacher may simply gaze at the student, speak words or make sounds, touch the student with their hands or with a feather, or transmit spiritual energy through intention or thought. Proximity does not appear to be required. There are many anecdotal accounts of recipients who experienced transmission by looking at a photograph of a spiritual teacher. In the devotional traditions of Hinduism, practitioners often place photos of their teachers in their environments (home, car, workplace) to remain in connection with the teacher's transmission. We run a block-design protocol in which we tested 3 different senders experienced in spiritual transmission, and 10 different receivers who were either disciples of the guru or naive subjects. Experiments were performed at two locations in California in two different laboratories. Senders and receivers sat in different rooms at about 30 meters distance of each other. Two conditions alternated: a condition of active spiritual transmission and a condition of rest. We recorded distant spiritual transmission and rest for 5 consecutive sessions of 5 minutes each. On 2 of the 5 sessions (sessions 2 and 4), the sender was instructed to give spiritual transmission. During rest (sessions 1, 3, and 5), the sender remained silent and attempted to keep his mind out of the spiritual transmission state. The receiving subjects were asked to stay in a meditative and receptive mental state. We used the EEGLAB software (www.sccn.ucsd.edu/eeglab) to analyze the electro-encephalographic signals from both senders and receivers focusing on the brain activity during the spiritual transmission mental state compared to the brain activity during the rest state. For some of the subjects, we also performed correlation analysis between scalp channels of senders and receivers. False detection rate (FDR) was used to correct for multiple comparisons. We report significant activity in receivers when senders are performing spiritual transmission at a distance. We also report significant brain correlations between senders and receivers in some of the testing sessions. These results suggest that spiritual transmission to an isolated person at a distance appears to produce measurable physiological effects in some distant receivers.
