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).

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This study obtained novel data regarding mediums’ accuracy when reporting different types of information and the relationship of accuracy to mediums’ learning styles and sensory modality preferences (LS/SMPs). The medium participants in this study were 12 Windbridge Certified Research Mediums (WCRMs) who were previously screened and certified using published criteria; 11 females, 1 male; average age: 58.9 ± 2.4 years. The mediums’ accuracy scores when asked, under blinded conditions, specific questions about a deceased person (physical description, personality, hobbies, and cause of death) were compared. The means (± SE) of 21 accuracy scores for each of the four question types varied (physical description: 53.9% ± 5.2%; personality: 67.0% ± 7.1%; hobbies: 49.4% ± 5.5%; and cause of death: 41.3% ± 6.5%) but no differences requiring further statistical analysis existed. Accuracy scores were also compared to participant responses to the following LS/SMP questionnaires: the Index of Learning Styles© (ILS), the Barsch Learning Style Inventory (BLSI), and the Learning Channel Preference (LCP). Correlation analyses indicated no significant correlations between accuracy and LS/SMPs although moderate correlations between the different question types existed. Though this sample size was not large, it may be appropriate to conclude that none of the four types of information requested is more or less difficult to report during a mediumship reading than any other. This finding is consistent with mediums’ descriptions of their experiences as passive perceptions and of the deceased as autonomous entities. Further, individual characteristics categorized as LS/SMPs may not impact mediumistic abilities. In addition, the multi-modal nature of mediumship would suggest that individual sensory preferences are irrelevant to accuracy. Future research may wish to explore the relationship of LS/SMPs to the anomalous acquisition of information not regularly experienced as autonomous.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
A person’s learning style is established during childhood and consistent into adulthood. Learning style assessments may be useful in categorizing and quantifying inherent individual preferences.
AIMS
Mediums’ learning styles and sensory modality preferences (LS/SMPs) questionnaire responses were compared to their accuracy scores when asked specific questions about a deceased person under blinded conditions. The accuracy scores for the different questions were also compared.
METHOD
The Index of Learning Styles© (ILS), the Barsch Learning Style Inventory (BLSI), and the Learning Channel Preference (LCP) were used to assess LS/SMPs. The medium participants were 12 Windbridge Certified Research Mediums (WCRMs); 11 females, 1 male; average age: 58.9 ± 2.4 years.
RESULTS
The means of 21 accuracy scores for each of four question types varied (physical description: 53.9% ± 5.2%; personality: 67.0% ± 7.1%; hobbies: 49.4% ± 5.5%; and cause of death: 41.3% ± 6.5%) but no differences requiring further statistical analysis existed. Correlation analyses were completed to compare the accuracy scores for the four question types with ILS Active, Reflective, Sensory, Intuitive, Visual, Verbal, Sequential, and Global scores; BLSI Visual, Auditory, and Tactual Preference scores; and LCP Preferred Visual, Auditory, and Haptic Channel scores. No significant correlations were found.
CONCLUSIONS
Though this sample size was not large, it may be appropriate to conclude that none of the four types of information requested is more or less difficult to acquire or report during a mediumship reading than any other. Further, individual characteristics categorized as LS/SMPs may not impact mediumistic abilities.

Correlating mediums' accuracy under quintuple-blind conditions with their sensory modality preferences

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Although it is possible for anyone to experience communication from the deceased and this experience has been reported across cultures since antiquity, a medium is someone who has this experience regularly, reliably, and often on-demand. Twenty Windbridge Certified Research Mediums have been screened under controlled laboratory conditions for their abilities to report accurate information about the deceased. They then performed phone readings in which they were given the first names of deceased individuals and asked specific questions about verifiable topics regularly conveyed during naturalistic mediumship readings: the deceased's physical appearance when alive, personality characteristics, hobbies or interests, and cause of death. The participants received no further information about the deceased or their associated living counterparts (sitters) and no feedback during or after the reading. The sitter did not hear or participate in the phone reading; a blinded proxy sitter served in their place. Each medium performed two readings for two different deceased people. Formatted items from the readings were scored for accuracy by the associated sitters. Each blinded sitter scored their own target reading and a decoy reading intended for another sitter. This quintuple-blind protocol addresses potential confounding factors as the source of the reported information: fraud, deception, cold reading, cueing, and overly general information. A previously published study compared the accuracy percentages of blinded target and decoy readings (Beischel, Boccuzzi, Biuso, & Rock, 2015). The sections of target readings including the four specific questions listed above received ratings significantly larger than those sections of decoy readings (52.8% +/- 3.9% vs. 36.6% +/- 3.8%, p = .002, d = 0.75, n = 31). The current project aimed to perform a deep reanalysis of accuracy data broken out by each of the four questions (physical description, personality, hobbies, and cause of death) from readings performed by 12 mediums. Scored readings were received from 21 of the 24 sitters. The means for each question type varied (53.9% +/- 5.2%, 67.0% +/- 7.1%, 49.4% +/- 5.5%, 41.3% +/- 6.5%, respectively) but overlapping interquartile ranges established that no significant differences existed. In addition, the 12 mediums' accuracy data was correlated with their scores on three surveys assessing sensory modality preferences and learning styles: the Index of Learning Styles (ILS), the Barsch Learning Style Inventory (BLSI), and the Learning Channel Preference (LCP). No significant correlations were found between accuracy and ILS Active, Reflective, Sensory, Intuitive, Visual, Verbal, Sequential, or Global scores; BLSI Visual, Auditory, or Tactual Preference scores; or LCP Preferred Visual, Auditory, or Haptic Channel scores. Though this sample size was not large, it may be appropriate to conclude that none of the four types of information requested is more or less difficult to acquire or report during a mediumship reading than any other. Further, individual characteristics categorized as learning styles and sensory modality preferences may not impact mediumistic abilities.
