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.

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.

Neural dynamics of mindfulness meditation and hypnosis explored with intracranial EEG: A feasibility study
Publication year: 2022

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304394021007242
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Purpose
Intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) offers a unique window on brain dynamics with excellent temporal and spatial resolution and is less prone to recording artefacts than surface EEG. This study used a within-subject design to explore the feasibility to compare iEEG data during mind wandering, mindfulness meditation and hypnosis.
Results
Three patients who had iEEG for clinical monitoring and who were new to mindfulness meditation and hypnosis were able to enter these states. We found non-specific and wide-spread amplitude modulations. Data-driven connectivity analysis revealed widespread connectivity patterns that were common across the three conditions. These were predominant in the low frequencies (delta, theta and alpha) and characterised by positively correlated activity. Connectivity patterns that were unique to the three conditions predominated in the gamma band, one third of the correlations in these patterns were negative.
Conclusions
This study is the first to support the feasibility of a direct comparison of the neural correlates of mindfulness meditation and hypnosis using iEEG. These modulations may reflect the complex interplay between different known brain networks, and warrant further functional investigations in particular in the gamma band.

A neurophenomenological approach to non-ordinary states of consciousness: hypnosis, meditation, and psychedelics
Publication year: 2023

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
No contemporary unifying framework has been provided for the study of non-ordinary states of consciousness (NSCs) despite increased interest in hypnosis, meditation, and psychedelics. NSCs induce shifts in experiential contents (what appears to the experiencer) and/or structure (how it appears). This can allow the investigation of the plastic and dynamic nature of experience from a multiscale perspective that includes mind, brain, body, and context. We propose a neurophenomenological (NP) approach to the study of NSCs which highlights their role as catalysts of transformation in clinical practice by refining our understanding of the relationships between experiential (subjective) and neural dynamics. We outline the ethical implications of the NP approach for standard conceptions of health and pathology as well as the crucial role of experience-based know-how in NSC-related research and application.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Despite the increasing popularity of mindfulness and hypnosis in healthcare and in the general community the underlying neuropsychological mechanisms are unclear. The hypnotic state is characterised by absorption, suggestibility and reduction of self-consciousness. Mindfulness meditation, aims, amongst other things, at strengthening meta-awareness. The change in the relationship between the self and the conscious experience that they bring about may be crucial. Studying such states, their associated changes in subjective experience and corresponding neural correlates is challenging and requires an accurate description of the experience.
Aims
We report on a study that aims at identifying the phenomenological and neural correlates of self-consciousness in meta-awareness and absorption, and highlight the challenges in linking subjective experiences with neural correlates.
Method
We used three standardised audio instructions of 17 minutes each in randomised order to modify the conscious state of participants: 1) mind wandering 2) raising awareness of conscious processes and re-focusing on the body and the breath (meta-awareness) 3) multi-sensory reexperiencing of a nice place (absorption). First-person experiences were assessed using likert scales and interviews. To study the neural correlates of these states, the experiment was repeated in a subgroup during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning, which were combined with the likert 13 scales and interviews. In addition, 3 people with epilepsy and implanted electrodes were presented with the same audio instructions.
Results
Hundred healthy participants completed the first part of the study, of which forty participated in the fMRI experiment. Qualitative analysis of interviews shows that the experience is highly variable. In addition, experiences reported in the interviews are often discordant with Likert scale ratings, raising questions on how to accurately access the first-person experience in experimental settings.
Conclusions
This study sheds light on the neurophenomenological correlates of meta-awareness and absorption and the challenges in assessing them.
