| IM MindMap offers a new way of using and improving memory, concentration, and creativity in planning and structuring thoughts on all levels, in order to accelerate the ability to learn, remember and record information. The human brain is very different from a computer. Whereas a computer works in a linear fashion, the brain works associatively as well as linearly - comparing, integrating and synthesizing as it goes. Association plays a dominant role in nearly every mental function, and words themselves are no exception. Every single word and idea has numerous links attaching it to other ideas and concepts IM MindMap is a powerful application which provides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It harnesses a range of cortical skills ? word, number, logic, rhythm and spatial awareness ? in a single, uniquely powerful manner. In so doing, it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanses of your brain. The Mind Map can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance. Similarly to a road map, IM MindMap will: - Give you an overview of a large subject/area.
- Enable you to plan routes/make choices and let you know where you are going and where you have been.
- Gather and hold large amounts of data for you.
- Encourage problem solving by showing you new creative pathways.
- Enable you to be extremely efficient.
- Be enjoyable to look at, read, muse over and remember.
- Attract and hold your eye/brain.
- Let you see the whole picture and the details at the same time.
- Assist YOU!
IM MindMap is an effective method of note-taking as well as being useful for the generation of ideas by associations. To make a Mind Map, one starts in the center of the page with the main idea, and works outward in all directions, producing a growing and organized structure composed of key words and key images. Mind Maps are beginning to take on the same structure as memory itself. Once a Mind Map is drawn, it seldom needs to be referred to again. IM MindMap helps organize complex information. Because of the large amount of association involved, they can be very creative, tending to generate new ideas and associations that have not been thought of before. Every item in a map is in effect, a center of another map. The creative potential of a IM MindMap is useful in brainstorming sessions. You only need to start with the basic problem as the center, and generate associations and ideas from it in order to arrive at a large number of different possible approaches. By presenting your thoughts and perceptions in a spatial manner, a better overview is gained and new connections can be made visible.
