What's Mind Mapping
It starts from a central topic, and connects other ideas/topics of images or keywords with lines. The visual structure shows gaps in information quickly and relationships between ideas clearly. It is an expression of radiant thinking and you can sort details and recognize relationships among the details easily.
Mind mapping is a technique that involves both the left and the right sides of the brain to absorb new ideas and requires your brain to build the connections of the ideas. The visualization process during mind mapping helps you to organize new information and correlate them with others.
