Weicheng studied construction engineering at Wuhan University of Technology (B.Sc) and obtained his second degree in Psychology at Central China Normal University (B.Sc). He received his master's degree at South China normal university, majoring in cognitive neuroscience. His master’s thesis mainly explored the synchrony of neuro oscillation in cooperative and competitive games with the EEG-hyperscanning method.
