About

Hi, I am Wentao Ruan, also known as INWLY.

I am a Ph.D. student at the IIP-HCI Lab, Anhui University. My research focuses on brain-computer interfaces and EEG signal processing, mainly exploring decoding in the text space. In my earlier research, I worked on ancient Chinese character image restoration, including detail-aware restoration methods for degraded historical character images.
