Human Brain
Our brain's potential is infinite.
Its divided into the Left hemisphere and the Right hemisphere.
Left HemisphereCommunicates by using
words, has highlydeveloped verbal abilities,is logical and systematic,concerned with mattersas they are.
Right HemisphereCommunicates using images
(pictures), has highlydeveloped spatial abilities, isintuitive and imaginative,concerned with emotions andfeelings.

Facts about the Brain
Brain can feel no pain.
Neurons develop @ 250,000 neurons per minute during early pregnancy
Every time you recall a memory or have a new thought, you are creating anew connection in your brain
The average number of thoughts that humans are believed to experienceeach day is 70,000
Brain weight and size is not indicative of mental ability
The brain can live for 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen, and then it beginsto die. No oxygen for 5 to 10 minutes will result in permanent braindamage.

How to create a MindMap?
Guidelines for creating MindMaps:
1) Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.
2) Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout yourMind Map.
3) Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.
4) Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line.
5) The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. Thecentral lines are thicker, organic and flowing, becoming thinner asthey radiate out from the centre.

6) Make the lines the same length as the word/image they
support.
7) Use multiple colors throughout the Mind Map, for visualstimulation and also to encode or group.
8) Develop your own personal style of MindMapping.
9) Use emphasis and show associations in yourMind Map.
10) Keep the Mind Map clear by using radialhierarchy, numerical order or outlines toembrace your branches.
Mind maps can be made either roughly by hand or
by using softwares like Novamind512, reeMind,SciPlore MindMapping, XMIND etc.

MindMap and its use
It is used To generate, visualize, structure, andclassify ideas
As an aid in study, organization,problem solving, decision making, and
writing.

Mind maps can be used for:
Problem solving
Notes taking
Outline/framework design
BrainstormingMarriage of words and visuals
Individual expression of creativity
Condensing material into a concise and memorable
format
Team building or synergy creating activity

How to UseMindMaps for Brainstorming?
Mind Mapping is a graphical representation of the way we generateand organize our ideas in our brain.
So it is a great choice to use when we want to generate more ideasand here is how to use for that:
Step 1
Take a piece of blank paper, turn it landscape (ideally) andwrite your starting idea in the centre of the page
Step 2 when your first idea comes to mind, add it as a main branchto your fledgling mind map.
Step 3 when your second and subsequent ideas come to mind either
add them to an existing branch (if they are related) or start a newbranch if there is no logical place to put your new idea.
Step 4 keep repeating the above process until you have got moreideas than you think you will ever need.

CREATIVITY
Paul Foreman, the prolific mind mapper ofMindMap Inspiration says -
"Mind maps open the floodgates to creativity and are a brilliant formatfor thinking. Occasionally to fire the imagination, a new theme, centralstarting point or idea is needed. Whilst "thinking outside the box" hasbecome a familiar term, harnessing ideas from the silence within may
be a relatively new concept. Tapping into our inner resources canprovide the necessary armory for idea creation.
Mind map + Brainstorming = Unique Creativity

How to UseMindMaps for Creativity?
Activity
Imagine we received a client brief, his company is called Green and it is anenvironment oriented one with the goal of trees conservation and he need s a logo.
In the briefing he specify that he wants the color green for the logo and this musthave a nature element.
Our goal is to create a unique and outstanding logo.
In groups make a mind map and use it to create a logo for the client.

Now that we have the Mind Map of our brainstorming lets find the ones who willhelps us make our logo (based on the example).
We can use trees and leaves who are also related to life. Lets use this threeelements to make a simple logo.
And the result can be something like this:
We can have an infinite amount of possibilities, but its only an exampleto demonstrate the essence of Mind Map in our brainstorming process.

Notes Taking andMemorizing
Mind Maps are a great way for students to make notes onall of the information they receive.
What is traditional note making?
Traditionally, when studying, we make notes in a linear, list style by making linesand lines of information.
Why are linear notes bad?
By making notes in this way we end up with ugly, dense lines of text which are difficultto read and understand.
By writing notes in list form you are forced to isolate pieces of information, and youwill feel unable to make connections between your ideas.
You find ideas written in this way hard to read, and you don't look forward toreviewing your notes

How to UseMindMaps for Notes Taking?
1) Write the title of the subject you're exploring in
the center of the page, and draw a circle around it.This is shown by the circle marked 1 in Figure 1,above.2) As you come across major subdivisions orsubheadings of the topic (or important facts thatrelate to the subject) draw lines out from thiscircle. Label these lines with these subdivisions orsubheadings. These are shown by the lines
marked 2 in Figure 1.
3) As you "burrow" into the subject and uncoveranother level of information (furthersubheadings, or individual facts) belonging tothe subheadings above, draw these as lineslinked to the subheading lines. These are shownby the lines marked 3 in Figure 1.
4) Finally, for individual facts or ideas,draw lines out from the appropriateheading line and label them. These areshown by the lines marked 4 in Figure 1.

Improve memory withMindMapping
The act of Mind Mapping increasesAssociationimaginationcreativity
Mind Maps only contain keywords. This means that the information to
remember is prompted by short, memorable words with meaning - not reams of
notes!
Mind Maps promote associations and connections
Mind Maps use colour and images, which stimulate your imagination.
How canMind maps help in improving memory ?
