Mind Mapping

Definition: Mind Mapping is an in idea generation, brainstorming, learning and radial visualization process in which information, ideas and their interconnections are visually arranged using association.
MM is used to graphically arrange the linkages of some central concept or issue with other concepts or issues into memorable treelike diagrams.
MM allows you to create, capture, organize, and communicate readily understood and highly interactive visual representations of complex ideas, information, and data.
A mind map always starts from some problem or issue which is positioned in the center. Typically it contains words, short phrases and pictures, which are connected to the central issue by lines.
