Abstract. The discussion about informational systems evolution with cognitive

methodology is influential factor of actual changes in projecting approach. Between
the most popular implementations cognitive agents and architectures should be
named. Consciousness upload, cognitive imitation (Global Workplace Theory), and
cognitive augmentation are the prominent achievements of current researches and
previous implementation. The last part of discussion is focused on quantum brain
models and quantum cognition implementation. Approaches are already used by real
decisions for multiuser environments and services. The discussion also is focused on
democratization of experience and its legitimation in artificial intelligence
development.
Key words: cognitive augmentation, system with consciousness, quantum brain,
Global Workplace Theory, e-society.

State of the problem. The modern capabilities of cognitive optimization of smart

systems are quite a viable option for business improvement. Cognitive agents created
according to the principle of human decision-making, models reflecting shell
communication and architectures based on neural networks have been in the field of
careful attention of scientists and companies for more than twenty years. New
developments in the field of brain-computer such as custom non-invasive
headphones, which are becoming available to users, enable remote access to the
brain-computer society and create the prerequisites for the realization of the Internet
of Thoughts. Advances in neuroscience in the field of brain design make complex
models accessible, and the philosophy of the Global Workplace envisions the
embodiment of mind in systems. This state of the art in the field of new technologies
inspires new solutions for wide application for both special and business applications.

Method. Cognitive modeling is the process of creating computational models that
simulate human cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, and
decision-making. Cognitive models are used to understand how humans process
information and make decisions in various contexts. It can be used to predict human
behavior, evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions, and design better
systems that are more compatible with human cognition.
Cognitive models can take many forms, ranging from simple mathematical
equations to complex computer simulations. They can be used to model a wide range
of cognitive phenomena, including learning, problem-solving, reasoning, and
language processing.
Cognitive modeling is an interdisciplinary field that draws insights from
psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy. It has been applied in
various domains such as education, healthcare, transportation, and human-computer
interaction.[2, 3]
 Here are some examples of cognitive modeling applications:
• Education: Cognitive models can be used to develop intelligent tutoring
systems that adapt to the learner's needs and provide personalized feedback.
• Healthcare: Cognitive models can be used to predict patient outcomes and
assist in diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Transportation: Cognitive models can be used to design safer and more
efficient transportation systems by predicting driver behavior and identifying
potential hazards.
• Human-Computer Interaction: Cognitive models can be used to design
interfaces that are more intuitive and easier to use by modeling user behavior and
preferences.
The development of cognitive agents involves creating computational entities that
simulate or emulate human cognitive processes and behaviors. These agents are
designed to interact with their environment, perceive sensory inputs, process
information, make decisions, and perform tasks in a manner that resembles human
cognition.
When sensory input, memories, or internal representations are given attention, they
become part of the global workspace and can then be operated on by a variety of
processes. As elements compete for attention, the ones that win are granted entry to
the global workspace, allowing their information to be distributed and coordinated
across the whole cognitive system. Global Workplace Theory resembles the concept
of working memory and is proposed to correspond to a 'momentarily active,
subjectively experienced' event in working memory.[4, 5]
Results. Cognitive modeling is a powerful tool for understanding human cognition
and designing better systems that are more compatible with human cognition.
However, it also has its limitations. Cognitive models are based on assumptions about
how the mind works, which may not always be accurate. Additionally, cognitive
models can be computationally expensive to develop and may require large amounts
of data to train. Besides, there are a lot of ethical issues for legislation of such
approaches.
