Dr Ma La Ssu La San Lang Wei

My background is rooted in the humanities, arts-based research, and long-term ethnographic engagement with Indigenous knowledge and ritual performance. My research asks how knowledge is generated and recognised in non-verbal systems, particularly where embodied cognition, bodily action, perception, and shared judgement play a central role.

I developed “Body Grammar” to explain how embodied knowledge is formed, transmitted, and recognised through shared judgement, including the concept of collective optimal experience. I extend this framework to artificial intelligence, analysing pre-verification conditions in large language models, with a focus on traceable AI and AI accountability. Applications include community health, art therapy and cognitive ageing.

Alongside academic research, I emphasize industry translation and venture development, connecting research with real-world systems across AI, health, and arts-based innovation.
