Maxime Billot

Maxime Billot is an Associate Researcher at the Center for Research on Cognition and Learning (CeRCA), a joint research unit of the University of Poitiers and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), and is affiliated with Poitiers University Hospital (CHU Poitiers) through the PRISMATICS team. His work is based at CeRCA/MSHS, located at TSA 21103 - 5, rue Théodore Lefebvre, 86073 Poitiers cedex 9.

His research focuses on:

• Neurophysiological characterization of neuromuscular plasticity linked to aging and pain
• Sensory integration in motor control of postural balance and learning
• Motor rehabilitation using innovative medical devices
• Non-pharmacological approaches to pain management
• Behavioral and digital approaches to pain assessment

Billot's recent publications (2018-2022) reveal consistent emphasis on pain-motor function interactions, particularly in chronic pain conditions and geriatric rehabilitation. His methodological toolkit includes corticospinal excitability measurements, virtual reality applications, and systematic reviews of non-pharmacological interventions, demonstrating strong interdisciplinary collaboration across neuroscience, rehabilitation, and digital health domains.

Professional responsibilities include:

• Secretary of the Rehabilitation Commission (C2R) of the French Society for the Evaluation and Treatment of Pain (SFETD)
• Member of the Ethics and Scientific Committee for Health Data Research (CESRDS) at Poitiers University Hospital
