Rick Grush is currently Professor of Philosophy at UCSD. He received a joint doctorate in philosophy and cognitive science from UCSD in 1995. From his doctoral dissertation to the early 2000s, Rick Grush developed the emulation theory of perception, imagery, and motor control. He then extended this framework to account for spatial and temporal aspects of perception. His research centres on theories of spatial and temporal representation and theoretical cognitive neuroscience.
