The desynchronization of Alpha band components during a self-paced movement of the thumb was studied in 7 subjects. The EEG was recorded from 23 electrodes located on the frontocentral, central, and parietocentral regions, referred to the right mastoïde, 4 s before and 2 s after movement onset. The data were then transformed to obtain 11 source derivations. The temporal evolution of the power of the signal within the Alpha band, every 250 ms, associated to the non parametric statistic test of Wilcoxon, authentifies the event-related desynchronization (ERD). The spatiotemporal analysis of ERD underlines on the central regions, two principal locations of ERD: one controlateral to the movement, starting more than 1 s before the movement; the other, ipsilateral, shorter, during the movement. However, no significance desynchronization was underlined on the vertex. The ANOVA used to analyse these results confirms the principal location of ERD on the central region, and seems to indicate a right lateralisation during the right or the left movement.
