Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The major study concerned the subliminal priming of participants with film clips prior to their ganzfeld sessions.
In total, 64 trails (32 traditional psi ganzfeld trials and 32 comparison trials with primed targets) were conducted with receiver-sender pairs taking part in a digital real time ganzfeld. Prior to the session, they viewed thematic material from all four potential film clips presented at 40 milliseconds exposures.
Although there was a statistically effect showing that the imagery from the clips later reemerged as a major part of the ganzfeld imagery, this concerned the non-target clips more than as the target material. First place rankings on the target clips gave only 13.7% hits (MCE 25%) and it may well be that the methodology overloaded the participants with dynamic material. Similar, apparently reversed effects, have been found in other research in subliminal perception. An analysis of the emotional content of the film clips found a highly significant effect relating to sense of awe or “numinosity” but again in the reversed direction.
A further study gave support for the influence of emotional sensitivity in mediating subliminal effect in the form of precognitive habitation effects.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
From an evolutionary perspective, it may be advantageous not only to unconsciously react to emotionally threatening stimuli but also to habituate to these if they should prove harmless. A major purpose of the study was to test for the occurrence of this precognitive affective habituation at a subliminal level using emotionally loaded pictures. The design chosen here enabled us to evaluate whether or not participants habituated to emotionally loaded pictures and to see if they reacted selectively to just those target pictures that would later be repeatedly exposed, thus becoming potentially less threatening. It was further hypothesized that both the subliminal and the precognitive effects would relate to individual measures of emotional reactivity and transliminality. Fifty participants took part in the two successive computer steered procedures in order to respectively evaluate these aspects. A significant habituation effect was found for the negatively loaded targets. The overall findings failed to show a significant discrimination between those pictures than would be re-presented and those that were not. However, by selecting out the 34 individuals who showed affective habituation, a post hoc significant effect of precognitive habitation was found.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The aim of this study was to maximise psi performance in the Real-Time Digital Ganzfeld (RTDG) by using as participants a group of identical twins who reported psi-related experiences. Fourteen pairs of identical twins were selected using a questionnaire interview based on the Sheep–Goat Scale. The twins in the roles of receiver and sender took part in a two-session RTDG procedure. The results of this initial study gave a 36% hit rate, with a small-to-medium effect size, which was the rate generally expected for ganzfeld studies with selected participants.The dramatic success rate that might be expected to occur amongst identical twins was not found in this sample. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

Prior to the session, the

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.

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).

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:
Statistical evidence was sought that an anomalous effect might be involved in the ancient Chinese system of divination known as the I Ching. The I Ching user throws three coins, six times, to generate one of 64 possible six-line symbols or hexagrams, and then consults the associated divinatory reading. Previous studies have given some indication that first-hexagram outcomes can be determined in advance of generating the hexagram to a significant degree above MCE (Thalbourne & Storm, submitted). However, participants might not only target first-hexagrams (of which the associated reading is present-focused), but they may also second hexagrams (the associated reading of which is future-focused —second hexagrams are generated from the first hexagram). It is theorised that hexagram targeting may accord with the participant’s time perspective. A present time perspective (PTP) refers to immediate events, whereas a future time perspective (FTP) refers to fate and what it has in store. PTP and FTP types are determined from scores on the Time Perspective Inventory (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Since intuitive types are said to be future-oriented (i.e., typically looking for the possibilities or future state of things), it is hypothesized that (i) there are relationships between time-perspective and Intuiting using the Singer-Loomis Type Deployment Inventory (Singer & Loomis, 1996). It is also hypothesised that (ii) hexagram hit-rates are above MCE, (iii) time perspective determines a participant’s influence on hexagram outcomes (i.e., PTP types hit more often on first-hexagrams than FTP types who hit more often on second hexagrams), and (iv) intuition predicts hexagram outcomes. There were significant relationships between PTP scores and (a) extraverted intuiting (EN), and (b) introverted intuiting (IN). There was a significant relationship between FTP scores and IN. Hit-rates were significantly (or marginally significantly) above chance on the I Ching measures—first-hexagram hit-rate (N = 180), P = .26, where PMCE = .25 (p = .067); secondhexagram hit-rate (first-hexagram hitters only: n = 38), P = .34, where PMCE = .238 (p = .048); and second-hexagram hit-rate (first-hexagram missers only: n = 100), P = .29, where PMCE = .254 (p = .063). PTP types did hit more often on first-hexagrams (27.2%) compared to FTP types (22.7%), whereas FTP types did hit more often on second-hexagrams (32.7%) compared to PTP types (29.2%)—the differences were not significant. Neither IN nor EN correlated significantly with hexagram outcomes.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVES:
To test the hypothesis that meditation attainment correlates with psi and to explore the possibility that some meditation techniques facilitate this.
METHODS:
1) Tibetan Psychic Beliefs - People from various Tibetan psychic disciplines were interviewed.
2) Yogic Attainment in Relation to Precognition - In two studies, 3 levels of yoga practitioners, students (ST),
sanyassins (SN) and swamis (SW), meditated, followed by an awareness period in which they aimed to
precognitively perceive a video clip.
3) Tibetan Buddhists’ Meditation Attainment in Relation to Psi - 18 participants, Tibetan monks, Western Buddhist students and a nun, completed 8 sessions each, of meditation followed by psi awareness of a static target picture.
4) Tibetan Meditation Techniques in Relation to Precognition - 10 Tibetan monks, who had meditated for 5 years minimum, completed 8 sessions each: 4 visualisation, and 4 mantra. A Tibetan Stroop test assessed distractibility.
RESULTS:
1) Tibetan psi traditions incorporate oracles, Mo divination, conscious reincarnation, astrology and attainment of psi abilities through meditation.
2) In the ashram studies, in 2003, with those who completed at least 3 sessions, SW scored significantly better than SN and ST.
3) Age and years of Buddhist meditation practice correlated significantly with psi. This is confounded by psi-missing from 3 monks who reported that, as children, they had previous-life memories.
4) Overall, the Lamas scored significantly. There was no significant difference between mantra versus visualization sessions.
CONCLUSION:
These studies support the Yogic and Buddhist teachings that psi abilities arise as a result of meditation attainment. This conclusion is qualified by the psi-missing.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The I Ching is an ancient Chinese system of divination. The user throws three coins, six times, to generate one of 64 possible six-line symbols or hexagrams, and then consults the associated divinatory reading. It is conjectured that the I Ching process is underscored by a paranormal process the cause of which is likely to be the individual user. Past research has produced mixed results—in five studies, effects have ranged from chance, to significantly above chance, but no effect significantly below chance has been found. In a study by L. Storm (2006) it was theorised that hexagram targeting may accord with the participant’s time perspective—a present time perspective (PTP) refers to immediate events; a future time perspective (FTP) refers to what fate has in store.
PTP and FTP types are determined from scores on the Time Perspective Inventory (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). In Storm’s (2006) study and the present study it was hypothesised that PTP types prefer first-hexagrams, and FTP types prefer second hexagrams. Storm (2006) produced results that were in the directions hypothesized. In this replication study (N = 150), hit rates for PTP types on first-hexagram hitting (30%) did exceed hit rates for FTP types (25%) as hypothesised, 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. This effect was interpreted as fulfilling a theoretical condition that defines “meaningful coincidence” or synchronicity (Jung, 1960). A significant sheep-goat effect was found. A marginally significant aggregated hexagram hit rate of 27% across the six 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 marginally significant which could all be attributed to chance, but 14% of tests using the experimental method were significant or marginally significant effects.

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: RESULTS:
General
All 120 subjects completed the full experiment. Hence there were sixty full sets of data for the neutral and the heightened attention conditions.
Memory Test and Manipulation Check
First, in the spontaneous memory test, subjects correctly remembered on average 10 and 12 prime words in the forward and backwards priming tasks. The second memory test, i.e. the manipulation checks was in line with instructions: subjects in the attend condition recognized on average 13 and 15 words in the recognition tests after the forward and retroactive priming tasks, respectively. Subjects in the neutral instructions recognized only about 4 and 6 words in the recognition memory after the proactive and retroactive priming tasks, respectively, a difference which was significant, at p<0.05.
Priming Variables
However, the present study failed to replicate the retroactive priming effect. To reiterate, in accordance with Bem’s original reports, we expected to find a backwards priming effect, i.e. a facilitation of processing of probes depending on the subsequently shown primes; and secondly, in accordance with earlier priming literature, we expected that this retroactive priming effect would be more pronounced when subjects were prompted to focus on the prime words. However, these predictions were not fulfilled.
Neither in the neutral instructions condition, nor in the attend condition could we detect any evidence suggestive of a retrocausal effect of prime words on probe evaluations. Our results rather show that there was no significant facilitation effect of subsequent prime exposure in the neutral condition (t(119)=0.89; p=0.207), or in the attend condition (t(119)=1.02; p=0.155). Though results move in the right direction, including a somewhat more pronounced trend in the expected direction in the attend instructions condition, they fail to reach significance in either condition.
