50 Useful Mind-Mapping Tools for College Students

Interesting post related to useful mindmapping tools for college students.

MM8 feature

I knew a little bit about that but I hadn´t checked it until I saw the Mindjet Blog post. I am talking about File Explorer feature and the many different possibilities it enables.
Rather interesting post.

Remembrances

One of the tasks I like the most is getting back to the maps I made some years ago and compare the current and the former style.
Here you get a weekly to-dos map, it is about 3 or 4 years ago.

House 5x24 "Both Sides Now"

Yesterday night I was watching House on TV (House 5x24 "Both Sides Now") and it turned out to be one of the clearest definitions about two brain hemyspeheres working. It seemed to me a pretty good summary about what I am publishing in my latest posts, as a manner to determine that mindmapping techniques helps us improving creativity.

Getting experiences accessing the right hempysphere

Getting deeper into my last post and into Betty Edwards´ book, I have been completing some of the exercises she propose in order to get the left hemysphere bored with some tasks and to get the right hemysphere doing the whole job.
It was about drawing a picture in a particular way, watching it upside down.
While doing the job, I took some notes into a mindmap about how I was feeling under this "right hempysphere ruling" state.
Most part of these experiences are commonly perceived by everyone, but they are also extraordinary good to identify such a state.

Using your "righty" friend

I am currently reading Betty Edwards' Drawing with the right side of the brain and it is being a quite interesting book with fascinating theories and exercises. I reached the book to improve my drawing ability, which I would say, it has been since I was a child a disability.
From the first page you find quite interesting and solidly based theories about the brain, it is composition (some had been treated in this blog between right and left parts of the brain) and how every part works and how to stimulate every part.
One thought quite interesting is the existing stuck in the brain functionality study (in comparison with other subjects) mostly due to the fact that the brain is the only part of the universe which is observing and investigating itself.
Another quite interesting topic is how to get into the right part operation and the "synthoms" you get by being working into that part (time absense, lower cardiac rhythm,...).

Mindmaps on flickr.com

Taking into account some suggestions in the blog comments, I am currently working to get some extra free space on flickr.com, so I can locate all the mindmaps I used in my blog. Further on I will locate every mindmap into that webpage, so they can be more easily accessed.
Thanks for the suggestions and please don´t hesitate giving suggestions to improve the blog, I will follow your recommendations.
