Narrative:
I was in the captain seat; taxiing aircraft to a gate. Upon entering the apron of the gate; I called out for brake pressure and received a response that it was normal (3000 psi). I then proceeded to the gate and was guided by the guide person; who then gave me the stop signal. I stopped the aircraft and set the brakes; which I confirmed by the EICAS message 'parking brakes' and the parking brake light. I then started my shutdown procedure. During my shutdown procedure I noticed a bump to the aircraft and observed the parking brake had become disengaged. At no time was I aware of any aircraft movement.
