ABOUT
As a neurorehabilitation clinician, Nicolas is head of a care unit for patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). His main research project aims to develop non-invasive methods, such as neurophysiological recordings, to assess the ability of these patients to perceive pain. These investigations offer a novel approach to study the relationship between pain perception and consciousness. His research projects are conducted in collaboration with Prof. André Mouraux (Institute of NeuroScience, UCLouvain, Belgium).
His other research works focus on (1) therapeutic interventions, (2) ethics and (3) epilepsy management in patients with DoC.
