If you scan the brain & give that person
different activities to do, then different
areas of the brain will "light up".
For instance, a different area of the brain will light up when the subject is
listening to words than when listening to music.

What is a Mind Map®?
A Mind Map® is a visual
representation of a person’s thinking.
it harnesses our full range of cortical skills
- word, image, number, logic, rhythm,
colour and spatial awareness and unlocks
the potential of the brain.
Example of a Decision Making Mind Map : ‘Considering for a Career Change’
Main branch ideas should
be the major factors
affecting the decision.
Create 4 quadrants.
Place the main branch
ideas in the quadrant
that best reflects your
assessment of the
condition.
If
sub
branches are split ie.
one sub branch is
deemed “Excellent”
and another as “Bad”,
create
the
main
branch
in
that
quadrant which can
reflect the sub branch
thought.

Example of a Planning Mind Map : ‘My Travel Plans’
Leave some space for
additional ideas you
may wish to add later.
Check boxes are useful.
When it's time to
execute your plan, they
help you keep track of
completed tasks.

The Central Image
shows clearly that it is
about your travel plans.
Main branches are the major
considerations for your travel
plans. Draw these first, before
expanding into the other secondary
branches.
Start drawing these
secondary
branches
only after you have
completed the main
branches, as they will
help you develop these
secondary branches.

It's Happening: Smarter software is turning mere data into real knowledge
By Bill Gates
“…. a new generation of "mind-mapping" software can also
be used as a
digital "blank slate" to help connect and synthesize ideas

and data — and ultimately create new knowledge. “
