Brain mapping is a graphic way to identify different parts of an issue or to plan steps or consequences of an action.
Experts say mind mapping makes information easier to remember and makes studying more enjoyable.
If you are a fan of mind mapping, you could use specific software to create mind maps. Here are 5 ways to draw a mind map:
FreeMind
FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool. We are proud that the operation and navigation of FreeMind is faster than that of MindManager because of one-click “fold / unfold” and “follow link” operations.
In my opinion, FreeMind is the most advanced mind-mapping
software available for linux. I’m not a Java-based software fun so I don’t use it too much.
Some Features:
You can always use sth like http://www.mindmeister.com/
Aha, it’s a online tool. I’ll have a look. Thanks Night!
A Mind Map is simply a way of putting that structure down on paper. Java Programming
You could also look at PersonalBrain ( http://www.thebrain.com )
Cool
I’m used to draw my own map, I’m going to try FreeMind and VYM.
Don’t forget the free tool Compendium from OpenLearn, here:

@Al and Rob
Thanks guys for your suggestions, I will try both applications (didn’t know about those two)!
@Gullit
To be honest, I think it’s more interesting to draw your own mind map on a paper, but let’s face it, it’s more comfortable, easy and fast to use the computer (at least you don’t have to gather all the pencils in the house on your table).
Try http://bubbl.us for an online version, where you can save your work, password protect it, invite other “brainstormers,” etc.
Cool post!
What about kdissert?
Kdissert is now known as Semantik (it is mentioned in the post too). See http://freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert.html for more information.

My favorite one is freemind and I’m quite happy with it. It is available for windows and linux as well.
Cheers
Have you looked at XMind?
