A ,Mind Map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind  map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the  whole.It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in  the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas  such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are  connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch  out from those major ideas.Mind maps can also be drawn by hand,  either as "notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning session, for  example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Mind  maps are considered to be a type of spider diagram. A similar concept in  the 1970s was "idea sun bursting".

A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a  visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to  better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas.  Just as in every great idea, its power lies in its simplicity.  In a mind map, as opposed to traditional note taking or a linear text,  information is structured in a way that resembles much more closely how  your brain actually works. Since it is an activity that is both analytical and  artistic, it engages your brain in a much, much richer way, helping in all  its cognitive functions. And, best of all, it is fun!
