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.

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.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Broughton’s model of extrasensory perception proposes that the emotional system may have been co-opted by evolution to work with memory to present anomalous information in a manner that helps humans to make adaptive decisions when sensory information is inadequate. This study attempted to gain experimental support by using the framing effect as an individual differences measure of sensitivity to emotional input that would correlate with psychic experiences and/or ability. Framing effect sensitivity was measured using a financial risk behavioural task and a battery of ‘Asian disease’ style questions. The Australian Sheep-Goat questionnaire assessed psychic beliefs and experiences. Psychic ability was measured using the Intuitive Market Trader (a futures market share trading simulator) and a precognitive Remote Viewing task. Additional personality and cognitive style data were obtained from the IPIP NEO-FFI battery, Emotion Business Decision Making Inventory, and the Rational-Experiential Inventory. Results of the 125 completed participants indicated that both framing-effect tasks functioned as expected but neither measure showed any relationship with psychic experience or ability. As expected, the Experiential factor (only) of the REI was correlated positively and significantly with the psychic beliefs (p=.00002) and experiences (p=.000003) and the Experiential factor was also positively and significantly correlated with performance in the Intuitive Market Trader psychic ability test (p=.007). While REI results provide promising support for emotion-based models of psychic functioning, the principal goal of developing the framing effect as a predictor of psychic experience and ability was not achieved.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Broughton’s model of extrasensory perception proposes that the emotional system may have been co-opted by evolution to work with memory to present anomalous information in a manner that helps humans to make adaptive decisions when sensory information is inadequate. This study attempted to gain experimental support by using the framing effect as an individual differences measure of sensitivity to emotional input that would correlate with psychic experiences and/or ability. Framing effect sensitivity was measured using a financial risk behavioural task and a battery of ‘Asian disease’ style questions. The Australian Sheep-Goat questionnaire assessed psychic beliefs and experiences. Psychic ability was measured using the Intuitive Market Trader (a futures market share trading simulator) and a precognitive Remote Viewing task. Additional personality and cognitive style data were obtained from the IPIP NEO-FFI battery, Emotion Business Decision Making Inventory, and the Rational-Experiential Inventory. Results of the 125 completed participants indicated that both framing-effect tasks functioned as expected but neither measure showed any relationship with psychic experience or ability. As expected, the Experiential factor (only) of the REI was correlated positively and significantly with the psychic beliefs (p=.00002) and experiences (p=.000003) and the Experiential factor was also positively and significantly correlated with performance in the Intuitive Market Trader psychic ability test (p=.007). While REI results provide promising support for emotion-based models of psychic functioning, the principal goal of developing the framing effect as a predictor of psychic experience and ability was not achieved.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
95 participants (believers and skeptics) took part in a study comprising a series of 4 visual noise and 4 auditory noise (pink noise) trials. Each participant was exposed to 2 degraded stimuli, 1 ESP stimulus and 1 random trial for each sense. Believers and skeptics did not differ in the number of guesses made regarding target identity. However, believers’ guesses were generally more elaborate and complex; their reaction times to decide that something was present (for the auditory condition) were faster, they were more confident about their first guesses and made more misidentifications than skeptics. Overall, more guesses and misidentifications were made for the visual condition.
Believers and skeptics did not differ in their overt detection of weak visual or auditory stimuli. Overall, reaction times were faster when a degraded stimulus was present compared to the random condition. For judge 1, there was a trend toward a significant ESP effect for the auditory condition (z= 1.93, p =.053) and a suggestive effect for the visual condition (z= 1.65, p =.099). For judge 2, there were no significant effects for either sense. For the auditory sense, more guesses were made for the psi than the random conditions. Believers did not differ significantly from skeptics in terms of ESP scoring.
By exploring schizotypy, this study also found evidence for different types of believer and disbeliever; a healthy and less healthy believer and an equivalent healthy and less healthy skeptic. There were no differences between the two different types of believer on ESP scoring.
Overall, the Magical Ideation scale did not correlate with ESP scoring. However among skeptics, there was a significant negative correlation with auditory ESP.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE:
To carry out automated experiments to test for telepathy in connection with text messages.
METHOD:
Subjects, aged from 11 to 72, registered online with the names and mobile telephone numbers of 3 senders. A computer selected a sender at random, and asked him to send an SMS message to the subject via the computer. The computer then asked the subject to guess the sender’s name, and delivered the message after receiving the guess. A test consisted of 9 trials.
Interactions evaluated: The effects of subjects’ sex and age and the effects of delay on guesses.
Main outcome measure: The proportion of correct guesses of the sender’s name, compared with the 33.3% mean chance expectation.
RESULTS:
In 886 trials there were 336 hits (37.9%), significantly above the 33.3% chance level (p = .001). The hit rate in incomplete tests was 38.4% (p = .03) showing that optional stopping could not explain the positive results. Most tests were unsupervised, which left open the possibility of cheating, but high-scoring subjects were retested under filmed conditions, where no cheating was detected, with 19 hits in 43 trials (44.2%; p = 0.09).

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Can people sense telepathically who is sending them an email before they receive it? Subjects, aged from 12 to 66 years, registered online with the names and email addresses of 3 senders. A computer selected a sender at random, and asked him to send an email message to the subject via the computer. The computer then asked the subject to guess the sender’s name, and delivered the message after receiving the guess. A test consisted of 6 or 9 trials. In a total of 419 trials, including data from incomplete tests, there were 175 hits (41.8%), significantly above the 33.3% chance level (p = .0001). Hit rates in incomplete tests were higher than in complete tests. There was no significant difference between hit rates with male and female subjects. The highest hit rates were with subjects in the 20–29-year age group. The effect size in these tests was lower
than in previous telephone and email telepathy tests, in spite of the fact that they were unsupervised. One reason may be that subjects were being asked to guess who had sent them a message several minutes earlier, rather than thinking about them simultaneously.

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:
The aim of the present study (Bial Grant 07/06) was to find evidence that a paranormal process undescores the I Ching, an ancient Chinese system of divination. Traditionally, users throw three coins, six times, to generate one of 64 six-line symbols called ‘hexagrams’, and then they consult the associated divinatory reading. Prior to throwing the coins, and in response to emotional or cognitive states of mind, a total of 150 participants pre-selected from the Hexagram Descriptor Form 16 of 64 descriptor-pairs that epitomized the meanings associated with the corresponding hexagrams. If one of the descriptor-pairs matched the outcome reading, it was deemed a hit (PMCE = .25). Participants also rated the meaningfulness of their readings. It was theorised that hexagram targeting may accord with participants’ time perspectives: either a present time perspective (PTP) or a future time perspective (FTP). Time perspective was derived from the Time Perspective Inventory (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). It was hypothesised that PTP types prefer first-hexagrams, and FTP types prefer second hexagrams. As hypothesised, the hit rate for PTP types on first-hexagram hitting (30%) exceeded the hit rate for FTP types (25%), although the difference was not significant. The hit rate for FTP types on second-hexagram hitting (22%) did not exceed the hit rate for PTP types (27%). Hit rates were above chance on first-hexagram hitting (25.3%), but below chance on second hexagram hitting (24.6%). Neither effect was significant. First-hexagram hitters rated their readings significantly higher (73%) on meaningfulness than first-hexagram missers (65%), p = .04. A marginally significant aggregated hexagram hit rate of 27% across six I Ching studies was also found (p = .072). Two judges rated the 64 descriptor pairs of the Hexagram Descriptor Form. Mean descriptor-pair ratings ranged between 60% and 82%. The experimental I Ching method was tested against three control methods. For the control methods, only 4.5% of the results were significant or near-significant which could all be attributed to chance, but 14% of test results using the experimental method were significant or near-significant. Evidence was weak that time perspective predicted hexagram outcomes, but there was some statistical evidence that the I Ching method of choice produced non-chance outcomes, and participants who saw meaningfulness in their readings tended to successfully predict their I Ching hexagram.

Abstract/Results:
RESULTS:
The Mann-Whitney test, applied to the data as presented on the Methodology, evidenced some peculiarities, in which the number of results FP becomes statistically significant, expressing that the sensitive seeks to attain a higher number of hits by guessing a high number of suggestions. On the other hand, his remote-viewing results, are slightly better than the presential ones which may suggest that there was no cold reading.
Greater difference between the presential and remote data of the sensitive 123 which could suggest cold reading. The same observation could be made for the results of the sensitive 001, but for all this data the statistic difference among them was not significant. Other important result evidence that the fact of believing or not in HV does not alter the performance of the sensitives. Other data showed evidence of a slight improvement on the performance of the sensitive after his 3rd data collection, probably optimizing it. All the sensitives studied presented more hits on the SD - Sindromic Diagnosis, A possible interpretation of these results would be that the sensitives were not decoding correctly the accessed information during the process of their extra-sensorial perceptions. The Kappa Indicator test shows that the hits and errors attained by two or more sensitives on the same patients have no correlation between them.
It is important to say that the sensitives 800 and 900 collected their data simultaneously, on the same room, evidencing that the fact of diagnosing the same patient simultaneously had no effect on their performance.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
The search for 'psi-conducive' states of consciousness has a long history in parapsychology. Reviews of the literature show that there is much evidence to support the contention that hypnosis is a psi-conducive state. States of consciousness, induced through different techniques, have been studied, e.g. hypnosis and progressive muscle relaxation and the induction technique. Subjects who are in a relaxed, psi-conducive state are in a state of low arousal which may be accompanied by such a low motivation that they do not care about performing the psi task well.
METHOD:
In this research project, the participants –believers in the general possibility of psi– were recruited in the Instituto de Psicología Paranormal at Buenos Aires. Subjects were divided into two groups, hypnosis and no-hypnosis stimulation. Subjects all completed three personality questionnaires, such as the NEO-PI-R, Millon Index of Personality Styles Revised, The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, two imagery and creativity questionnaires (e.g. Betts’s Vividness of Imagery Scale) before any psi testing be conducted. Both researchers remain blind to the scores from the personality scales until the subjects had been tested and their test scores be checked and independently rechecked.
RESULTS:
The sample included 62 participants, both 40 females (71.4%) and 22 males (28.6%), their ages ranged from 19 to 77 years (Mean= 48.47; SD= 11.02). All subjects also completed the hypnosis susceptibility questionnaire. ESP tests (clairvoyance) was performed which it is being conducted under two counterbalanced conditions: (a) hypnosis and (b) relaxation stimulation. Two targets type (emotional vs. neutral) is being used as stimulus. Emotional targets were previously evaluated by all of the participants, which they will be given ratings for enjoyability, affinity, emotionality, and valence. Each subject, having completed the personality scales will outline the nature of the task to the subject and answer any questions about the procedure. Under hypnosis condition scored psi-hitting 31.2%. notably above chance expected; however. under no-hypnosis (“control”) condition we obtained 24.6%, up to date. These are interesting results which seems to suggest that hypnosis condition somehow optimizes psi-communication.
