MIND MAPPING

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEFT BRAIN AND RIGHT BRAIN

DEFINITION

This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other.


LEFT BRAIN

The left brain is verbal and processes information in an analytical and sequential way, looking first at the pieces then putting them together to get the whole. Using left brain is a Logic they are Lists, Linearity, Woros, Numbers, Sequence, and Analysis.

RIGHT BRAIN
The right brain is visual and processes information in an intuitive and simultaneous way, looking first at the whole picture then the details.Using right brain is a Rythem there are Color, Imagination, Day Dream, Dimension, SpacialAwarness and Music.

MIND MAPPING

Mind mapping is a diagram or pictures to allow us to explore the idea. And mind mapping have two types. Logic map and Association map

Logic map is the map that need logic during you create or come out the idea. So you can’t simple add in the idea which is not suitable or not logic.

Association map is the map that you can add in the idea if you able to come out form your mind. Is it not right or wrong. Even the idea has not relationship with the topic. Lecturers also show us some example during the class. It is quite easy to understand when the lecturer provide us some example during class. In associated mind map, the sub elements generated from the main ideas may seems irrelative to the main idea but actually it still has a connection. Only that the connections is not obvious and usually doesn't follow the stereotype. Ideas generated from this kind of Mind Map is usually fresh and new to the audience.

In my opinion, mortar and pestle can be used as Bali style wind chime, it uses natural material, doesn't pollute the environment and blend in well with almost all kinds of housing decorations.

Second, it can be used as fortune telling instrument. Asians believe that objects made from natural materials possessed some kind of power, especially stones. Mortar can be used to fill with water taken from temple's well, which signify holiness and purity. The pestle hanging beneath the mortar swings to reveal the answer.

Thirdly, with natural resources depleted faster than we expect, one day we will revert back to stone age. Huge mortar can be used as a well storing rainwater and pestle are used to lift the water bucket.

HOW TO MAKE A MIND MAP

1. Take a blank piece of paper, A4 or larger.

2. Use the paper in landscape orientation.

3. Start in the centre.

4. Make a central image that represents the topic about which you are writing/thinking.
A picture is worth a thousand words. It opens up associations, focuses the thoughts, is
fun and results in better recall

5. The main themes around the central image are like the chapter headings of a book.

6. Start to add a second level of thought. These words or images are linked to the main branch that triggered them

7. Add a third or fourth level of data as thoughts come to you

8. Add a new dimension to your Mind Map. Boxes add depth around the word or image.
9. Sometimes enclose branches of a Mind Map with outlines in colour.

10. Make each Mind Map a little more beautiful and colourful.

11. Have fun.
