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:
Abstract:
Background
In the Ouija board phenomenon, players hold a heart shaped “planchette” over a board marked with letters and numbers, while taking turns to ask questions to the spirits. Although the players themselves actually move the planchette between them, they feel no agency for these movements and therefore attribute the movement of the planchette to spirits.
Aims
The aim of this project was to understand the neural (experiment 1) and physiological (experiment 2) mechanisms by which people experience an altered sense of agency when using a Ouija Board.
Method
We developed a novel joint action task, designed to simulate a Ouija board game. Experiment 1 investigated the ERP correlates of action effect anticipation in the Ouija board context. Experiment 2 recorded heart rate and electrodermal activity during a card selection task in both solo and joint (Ouija) action contexts.
Results
Experiment 1 found that early sensory ERP components associated with action effect anticipation were not modulated by the degree to which participants controlled the movements of the planchette. However, later P2 and P3 components were significantly reduced in the joint action context. Study 2 showed that risky deck selections were associated with increased sense of agency, independent of the degree to which participants controlled the movements of the planchette. Physiological arousal initially separated based on deck choice, but later in the selection period also differed between joint and self actions,
suggesting a possible cue to distinguish self from joint agency.
Conclusions
The current studies provide novel evidence on the mechanisms underlying the experience of agency in the Ouija board phenomenon.
