第07会場(大阪国際会議場12F 特別会議場)
Chairs: Ichiro Miyai(Department of Neurology, Morinomiya Hospital, Japan), Tatsuya Mima(The Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences, Ritsumeikan University, Japan)
Electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) have long been widely used for routine evaluations of neuromuscular diseases and stroke. Recent advances in analytical methods have revealed their usefulness in understanding various pathophysiological processes, predicting functional recovery, and developing novel approaches in neurorehabilitation. In this symposium, leading researchers will present the latest research findings in this field.

[S-45-3]The Yips in Sports: Insights from Sports Medicine and Neurology

Gajanan Revankar (Osaka University, Graduate School of Medicine, Japan)
Gajanan Revankar is a Specially appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Osaka University. Originally from Mysore India, Gajanan completed his medical degree before pursuing a Master’s in Germany. He graduated with Summa-Cum-Laude honors for his PhD in Japan, for his work on visual hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease. Currently, he spearheads innovative projects in his department - an rTMS study on Parkinson’s disease, a neurofeedback study on dystonia, and a medical device development project on dementias. Revankar is a sports enthusiast and loves playing cricket. For his work on yips in professional golfers, he received a “Young Investigator award” by the Japan Sports Agency.
