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.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

ASMR-Experience Questionnaire (AEQ): A data-driven step towards accurately classifying ASMR responders
Publication year: 2022

https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/bjop.12516
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) describes an atypical multisensory experience of calming, tingling sensations that originate in the crown of the head in response to a specific subset of audio-visual triggers. There is currently no tool that can accurately classify both ASMR-Responders and non-responders, while simultaneously identifying False-Positive cases that are similar sensory-emotional experiences. This study sought to fill this gap by developing a new online psychometric tool – the ASMR-Experiences Questionnaire (AEQ). Participants watched a series of short ASMR videos and answered sensory-affective questions immediately afterwards. Using a k-means clustering approach, we identified five data-driven groupings, based on tingle- and affect-related scores. ASMR-Responders differentiate based on ASMR propensity and intensity (ASMR-Strong; ASMR-Weak); non-responders differentiate based on response valence (Control+; Control-; False-Positive). Recommendations for how the AEQ and the respective output groups can be best utilized to enhance ASMR research are discussed.

Abstract/Results: Abstract
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) describes an atypical multisensory experience of calming, tingling sensations in response to a specific subset of social audiovisual triggers. To date, the electrophysiological (EEG) correlates of ASMR remain largely unexplored. Here we sought to provide source-level signatures of oscillatory changes induced by this phenomenon and investigate potential decay effects—oscillatory changes in the absence of self-reported ASMR. We recorded brain activity using EEG as participants watched ASMR-inducing videos and self-reported changes in their state: no change (Baseline); enhanced relaxation (Relaxed); and ASMR sensations (ASMR). Statistical tests in the sensor-space were used to inform contrasts in the source-space, executed with beamformer reconstruction. ASMR modulated oscillatory power by decreasing high gamma (52–80 Hz) relative to Relaxed and by increasing alpha (8–13 Hz) and decreasing delta (1–4 Hz) relative to Baseline. At the source level, ASMR increased power in the low-mid frequency ranges (8–18 Hz) and decreased power in high frequency (21–80 Hz). ASMR decay effects reduced gamma (30–80 Hz) and in the source-space reduced high-beta/gamma power (21–80 Hz). The temporal profile of ASMR modulations in high-frequency power later shifts to lower frequencies (1–8 Hz), except for an enhanced alpha, which persists for up to 45 min post self-reported ASMR. Crucially, these results provide the first evidence that the cortical sources of ASMR tingling sensations may arise from decreases in higher frequency oscillations and that ASMR may induce a sustained relaxation state.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Autonomic sensory meridian response (ASMR) is an atypical experience characterised by tingling sensations in response to social visual and auditory stimuli. Over the last decade, awareness of ASMR has proliferated. In contrast, ASMR is not widely understood within the scientific community, resulting in ASMR being an understudied phenomenon.
AIMS
1) To use a variety of behavioural and psychophysical tests to determine a valid testing battery that could be used to verify ASMR
2) Understanding psychological and neurological factors associated with ASMR experience.
METHOD
Several experiments examined different aspects of ASMR experiences. We used k-means cluster analyses across multiple studies to develop a new self-report psychometric capable of identifying sub-groups of ASMR responders. EEG and eye-tracking were used to measure physiological correlates of ASMR. Behavioural measures of social cognition were used to determine relationships between ASMR, emotion identification and affect sharing.
RESULTS
A new tool to classify ASMR-responders was developed: the first to use an unsupervised learning algorithm to support clustering people from the core features of ASMR experience. ASMR modulated oscillatory power, with evidence that the cortical sources of ASMR tingling sensations may arise from decreases in higher frequency oscillations and induce a sustained relaxation state. ASMR-Responders exhibit greater emotion identification capabilities.
CONCLUSIONS
ASMR-responders can be categorised using a data-driven psychometric measure. ASMR is associated with a distinct neurophysiological response associated with relaxation. ASMR is linked to better emotion identification: it can shed light on neurocognitive models of empathy.
