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).

Sharing motor plans while acting jointly: A TMS study

Abstract/Results: When acting together, we may represent not only our own individual goals but also a collective goal. Although behavioural evidence suggests that agents' motor plans might be related to collective goals, direct neurophysiological evidence of whether collective goals are motorically represented is still scarce. The aim of the present transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study is to begin to fill this gap. A participant and a confederate were asked to sequentially perform a two-choice reaction time task by acting on pressure sensors. In their own turn, they saw a cue indicating whether to lift their fingers from (or to press them on) a pressure sensor to shoot a ball across the screen as fast as possible. The confederate responded with the right hand, the participant with the left hand. While the confederate acted on the sensor, the participant's motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were collected from the right Extensor Carpi Ulnaris. If participants represent their own and the confederate's actions as being directed to a collective goal, MEPs amplitude should be modulated according to the action the confederate should perform. To test this conjecture, we contrasted three conditions: a Joint condition, in which both players worked together with their collective goal being to shoot the ball to get it to a common target, a Parallel condition, in which the players performed exactly the same task but received independent outcomes for their performance, and a Competitive condition, in which the outcome of the game still depended on the other player performance, but without the collective goal feature. Results showed no MEPs modulation according to the confederate's action in the Joint condition. Post-hoc exploratory analyses both provide some hints about this negative finding and also suggest possible improvements (i.e., adopting a different dependent variable, avoiding task-switching between conditions) for testing our hypothesis that collective goal can be represented motorically.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
When people act together, how can their actions be coordinated around a collective goal? An answer to this question may be easily extracted from accounts of ‘shared’ or ‘collective’ intentionality. Alternatively, interpersonal coordination around collective goals may rely on certain interagential structure of motor representations. When people act together with a purpose, the collective goals of their actions may be sometimes represented motorically.
Aims
The main aim of the project is to explore the motor representation of collective goals at cortical level. Our conjecture is that motor representations may enable joint action and provide interpersonal coordination around goals.
Method
To test this hypothesis at neurophysiological level, we run 3 studies measuring motor activity during joint actions: a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study; an EEG study and a TMS-EEG study.
Results
Analyses in study 1 suggested that a motor representation of joint actions may have a weaker impact than what expected from previous literature. Experiment 2 showed a significant difference in motor processes between joint and parallel actions when motor coordination is needed. Experiment 3 motor network is not differently activated in joint actions when two persons are aiming at a concrete goal.
Conclusions
Our studies, so far, do not support the instantiation of a motor representation of collective goals when joint actions do not require an ongoing motor coordination between the participants and their confederate.
