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: We conducted a large-scale online survey to examine ‘‘situational-enchantment’’ as a
special mental state that is conducive of psi-related or exceptional human experiences (EHEs). A
convenience sample of 707 online respondents completed measures of Transliminality,
Paranormal Belief (New Age Philosophy vs Traditional Paranormal Beliefs), EHEs, and
Enchantment. After establishing the reliability and scalability of all measures via Rasch scaling,
respondents were randomly assigned to either a Training set (n ¼ 471) or Validation set (n ¼ 236).
Competitive testing with path analysis on the Training set found that the best-fitting model
affirmed our prediction of a self-reinforcing loop between Enchantment and EHEs (psi), which
was mediated by a link between Transliminality and Paranormal Belief, and this solution was
accompanied by excellent model fit. This same pattern was fully replicated in the Validation set,
thereby establishing the empirical stability of our process model. The results support the
hypothesis that enchantment collectively acts as an aftereffect, example of, and catalyst for EHEs
and putative psi. We discuss the findings relative to clinical contexts and future research.

A ‘multi-event sensor app’ (MESA 3.0) for environmental studies of exceptional human experiences
Publication year: 2021

https://search.informit.org/doi/epdf/10.3316/informit.240564624350938
Abstract/Results: Abstract
A systems (or biopsychosocial) model hypothesizes that exceptional human experiences-and notably those related to localized areas of high-strangeness-represent the right people in the right settings (e.g., Laythe et al., 2021). However, quality big data are arguably needed from externally-valid conditions to understand the evolutionary-environmental variables that might contribute to the onset or contents of these phenomena. Guided by pertinent literature reviews, we accordingly developed an Android based mobile application (i.e., 'app') that simultaneously measures: (a) electromagnetic fields, (b) barometric pressure, (c) temperature, (d) lighting levels, and (e) gravity. Four different user modes produce time-synchronized (i.e., time-synced), distributional outputs that can be correlated with an embedded (and psychometrically valid) inventory of 'subjective and objective' anomalous experiences, as well as audio and photo documentation to test for possible anomalies or environmental Gestalt effects. The app's reliability and usability are ideal for data collection across natural and built environments by both professional researchers and the abundance of motivated laypeople who can support in-field studies as citizen scientists.

Final Report - Exploring the role of "enchantment" in psi phenomena
Publication year: 2022
Abstract/Results:
Abstract:
Background. Transliminality (TLIM) and Paranormal Belief (PB) are mutually-reinforcing state variables that facilitate psi. Mental boundaries and psi thus ostensibly fluctuate per situational influences, which might include the experience of psychological “enchantment’. Aims. Related studies tested whether enchantment fosters psi in receptive people. Method. Study 1 measured TLIM, PB, Enchantment, and Psi in a sample of 707 online respondents. Study 2 used a paranormal tour vs control session to confirm the proposed “TLIM × PB × Enchantment” formula for psi via a pre-registered field study (n = 33) of enchanted vs dis-enchanted settings. Ad-Hoc Studies 3 and 4 designed measures of environment variables that may promote enchantment or psi and correlated these with three participants’ anomalous experiences during an extended immersive exercise at a ‘haunted’ site. Results. Study 1: path analysis affirmed a loop between Enchantment and Psi, mediated by a link between TLIM and PB. Study 2: TLIM and PB scores, and the (dis)enchanted conditions significantly shifted overall correct hit rates on the psi task. Study 3: a beta “app” produces time-synced outputs that can be correlated with an embedded measure of anomalous experiences. Study 4: factor analysis showed that a space or setting is defined by its Affordance, Ambiguity, Presence, and Sentimentality. The immersive exercise found that the participants’ anomalous experiences were mostly congruency in content and location. Gestalt ratings significantly correlated with these experiences and prior witness reports. Conclusions. Enchantment is a special mental state conducive for psi, and this relationship is mediated by principles of environmental psychology.
