4.  The human brain has ~ 100 billion neurons  Each connected to 7 000 other neurons  Totally 100 trillion (10 14 ) synapses  Basic brain functions:  Information processing  Perception  Motor control  Arousal (sleep / wake) 4 Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain#Functionshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain#Functions  Homeostasis  Motivation & instincts  Learning and memory

6.  The true power of the brain comes when  The left and the right hemispheres are combined to work together  The mind functions many times better  How to unite the left and right brain?  Use numbers and colors together  Use logic and imagination together  Combine spatial perception and hierarchy  Use mind mapping 6

7. Introduction

8.  A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information  Single concept (idea) in its center  Related concepts connected to the central idea 8

9.  Visualizing information through branching has old history  Trees, graphs, radial maps and other visual hierarchies are being used for centuries  Used in learning, memory, brainstorming, visual thinking, problem solving, etc.  Used by educators, engineers, psychologists and others 9

10.  The modern mind mapping is popularized by Tony Buzan  Famous educational consultant from U.K.  Author of 100+ books  Popular psychology author  Expert in brain development, mnemonic systems, creativity, speed reading and efficient learning 10

11.  Wise people say  A picture is worth a 1000 words  Tony Buzan says  Did you know that you use less than 1% of your brain?  The good news is that mind mapping can access the other 99%  Mind mapping will greatly enhance your left and right brain cognitive skills  Mind maps will change your life 11

26. Practical Guidelines

27. 27 Source: http://buzan.com.auhttp://buzan.com.au

28.  Set your purpose / goal, e.g.  Plan your trip to France  Create the structure of your web site  Describe what is a "software engineer"  Take a blank sheet of paper (A4 or bigger)  Always use landscape orientation  Put your central concept (idea) in the center  Sketch an image / photo of your central idea  A picture is worth a 1000 words 28

29.  Create your main branches  A separate branch for each association  Put a keyword / image at each branch  Create your sub-branches  Bigger branches use thicker lines  Use different colors for each branch  At least 3 colors for emphasis, structure, texture, and creativity  Use curved (organic lines) lines 29

30.  Use a single keyword per branch  Two words  branch + sub-branch  Phrases  put into a box  Use images / symbols wherever it is possible  A picture is worth a 1000 words  Prefer uppercase letters  Easier to read and remember  Develop your personal style for mind maps  Start from the basic rules and adapt them 30

31. 1. Create a mind map of your future in the academy 2. Mind map the software engineering profession 3. Mind map what you have learned today 4. Mind map something else (by choice)

32. Why Do We Need Mind Mapping?

33.  When mind mapping helps us?  Taking notes  In class when listening a lesson  In a meeting at work  When reading a book  Create a map of the book for better recall  Improved memory  Create a map of what you want to remember  Mapped content is easier to understand 33

34.  When mind mapping helps us?  Planning something  Organize your ideas into a mind map  Brainstorming  Your idea is unclear?  Try mind-mapping it!  Put everything on a sheet of paper  Creating a presentation  Put your ideas into a mind map 34
