Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Dystonia is a disorder of movement characterized by involuntary, sustained muscle contractions, frequently causing twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Neuronal mechanism underlying dystonia poorly understood and no effective treatment for every patient with dystonia has been found yet. Our study aimed to develop a novel treatment using brain-machine interface system that changes stability of neural circuits in the cortex by bypassing brain and external world without the normal neuromuscular pathway. To achieve this purpose, we recorded electroencephalograms (10 channels) and forearm electromyograms (3 channels) from 2 patients with the diagnosis of writer's cramp as a preliminary experiment. In the analysis, a time-frequency representation of each electroencephalographic signal and coherence between electroencephalographic and electromyographic signals were computed. Comparing to the patients with dystonia (not writer’s cramp) and healthy subjects, the result clearly shows a prominent of electroencephalographic activity in specific frequency band where is functional coupling between cortical activity and electromyograms during sustained contractions.
