BIAL Foundation Archive
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
Choice blindness, the failure to detect that one’s selected choice has been replaced with an alternative, can be used to change well-entrenched attitudes with little resistance. This paradigm leverages confabulation, in which people generate post-hoc rationalisations after receiving false feedback about their choice.
Aims
First, we tested the generalisation of attitude changes after choice blindness manipulations. Second, we tested whether deception is necessary to cause these attitude changes.
Method
A total of 147 students completed measures of experiential avoidance (a risk factor for depression), depressive symptoms, and life satisfaction. Participants were then randomly assigned to one of three conditions. Control participants were asked to explain their agreement with three of their experiential avoidance questionnaire items; choice blindness participants explained items that were covertly manipulated to indicate less agreement, and non-deceptive choice blindness participants explained these manipulated items while knowing that they were manipulated. All participants then completed the same measures one week later.
Results
Both choice blindness conditions reduced agreement with the manipulated experiential avoidance items, showing that deception is not necessary for this kind of attitude change. These changes did not generalise to the overall experiential avoidance score, nor to related constructs of depression or life satisfaction.
Conclusions
Attitude changes following choice blindness interventions may leverage at least two mechanisms: one due to the process of generating confabulations, which may resemble self-suggestion, and one due to the belief that the manipulated feedback is one’s own.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Choice blindness (CB)—failing to detect that one’s selected choice has been replaced by an alternative—can change attitudes with little resistance. To explore its clinical utility, we tested whether CB could reduce negative beliefs about experiential avoidance and whether these effects generalized to improve well-being (depression and life satisfaction). We also tested whether deception is necessary for these changes. In this preregistered study, 145 students completed baseline questionnaires and then explained their answers to three experiential avoidance items. Control participants explained their own responses, CB participants explained responses that we covertly modified to indicate less avoidance, and no-deception participants knowingly explained hypothetical responses that were similarly modified. Both experimental conditions reported lower experiential avoidance beliefs on the manipulated items 1 week later, but these results did not generalize to the other outcomes. We also did not find large differences between the CB condition and its nondeceptive counterpart, which carries implications for the clinical utility of CB and its underlying mechanisms.
