The invention discloses techniques for assessing group level cognitive states. The security monitoring technique includes receiving data related to one or more individuals from one or more cameras inan environment. Based on the input data from the cameras, agent-based simulators are executed that each operate to generate a model of behavior of a respective individual, wherein an output of each model is symbolic sequences representative of internal experiences of the respective individual during simulation. Based on the symbolic sequences, a subsequent behavior for each of the respective individuals is predicted when the symbolic sequences match a query symbolic sequence for a query behavior.
