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.

Behavioral and physiological markers of feigned memory impairment

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background and aims: The detection of malingering in cognitive performance is an important clinical challenge. The study goal is to explore behavioral and physiological responses in a performance validity test under normal vs. feigning conditions.
Methods: Twenty healthy women (mean age=32±6; mean education=17±1) recruited in the community performed a digital version of Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) adapted for eye-tracking recording (iView X™ Hi-Speed 1250 System). Half performed TOMM under normal effort and half were instructed to feign memory impairment as if they were in the initial stages of dementia to receive retirement or disability benefits. Number of correct responses (CR), response time (RT), and fixation time (FT) in old vs. new stimuli were recorded. Mann-Whitney test were used for group comparisons and ROC curves were applied for diagnostic test evaluation.
Results: The feigning group produced fewer CR on both evaluation trials and retention trial (p<0.001), had longer RT on evaluation 1 (p=0.007) and 2 (p=0.004), and had shorter total FT (during the 3 seconds visualization period prior to RT) in old stimuli during evaluation 1 (p=0.013) and 2 (p=0.019). No significant other group differences (p>0.05) were identified regarding RT, first FT, and total FT. ROC curves revealed that behavioral measures (CR and RT) had AUC >0.9 on both evaluation trials and that the AUC for total FT was 0.8 on both evaluation trials.
Conclusion: Healthy individuals feigning memory impairment have a distinct behavioral and physiological response pattern, reflecting an increased effort to inhibit a natural response.

Predictors of cognitive dysfunction one-year post COVID-19
Publication year: 2023

https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-34997-001
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objectives:
(a) To characterize the frequency of objective cognitive deficits and self-perceived cognitive difficulties and (b) to explore demographic and clinical predictors of cognitive dysfunction and cognitive complaints.
Method:
One hundred and ten adults diagnosed with COVID-19 between March and November 2020, aged = 74 years underwent a brief neuropsychological evaluation 12 months after infection, which included: Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised, California Verbal Learning Test, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test. T scores < 38 were considered abnormal performance; cognitive dysfunction was defined as = 2 abnormal tests. Participants also completed Broadbent's Cognitive Failure Questionnaires (CFQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, and Short-Form Health Survey. CFQ = 43 was considered indicative of cognitive complaints.
Results:
Twenty participants (18.2%) had cognitive dysfunction and 36 (33.3%) had cognitive complaints. Cognitive dysfunction was related to lower education, preinfection history of headache/migraine, and acute COVID-19 symptoms of headache and sleep disturbance. Cognitive complaints were more likely to occur in women, those with fewer years of education, and acute COVID-19 symptoms of headache and sleep disturbance. Cognitive complaints were also significantly related to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Sex and psychopathology were not significant predictors of cognitive dysfunction. Modest associations were found between CFQ total score and cognitive test performance.
Discussion:
A subset of individuals develops cognitive difficulties in the context of post-COVID syndrome. Results may support the protective effect of education, a known proxy of cognitive reserve. COVID-19 infection symptoms of headache and sleep disturbance appear to be risk factors for long-term cognitive difficulties.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Detecting malingering in cognitive performance is an important clinical challenge in neuropsychological assessment.
Aims
To explore behavioral and oculomotor responses during the performance of a computerized version of the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM-C) under normal vs. feigning conditions.
Method
TOMM-C with eye-tracking recording was performed by 60 healthy individuals (31 under normal effort – NE; and 29 were instructed to feign memory impairment: 21 Naïve Malingerers – NM and 8 Coached Malingerers – CM) and 14 patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and memory complaints performed. Number of correct responses, response time, number of fixations, and fixation time in old vs. new stimuli were recorded. Nonparametric tests were applied for group comparison.
Results
NM produced fewer correct responses and had longer response times in comparison to NE on all three trials. NE showed more fixations and longer fixation time on previously presented stimuli (i.e., familiarity preference) specially on Trial 1, whereas NM had more fixations and longer fixation time on new stimuli (i.e., novelty preference) specially in the Retention trial. MS patients produced longer response time and had a different fixation pattern than NE subjects. No behavioral or oculomotor difference was observed between NM and CM.
Conclusions
Healthy malingerers have a distinct behavioral and oculomotor response pattern, reflecting an increased effort to inhibit a natural response. Oculomotor measures may be useful to detect exaggeration or fabrication of cognitive dysfunction. Though, its application in clinical populations may be limited.
