From this:
(Hayes, G n.d. )
Writing in the Sciences devotees were recently treated to Susanna Carter's popular Mind Mapping workshop where she explored the work of Mind Mapping Guru, Tony Buzan.
Mind Mapping is definitely the buzz in planning work and synthesising knowledge at the moment. Susanna described it as 'enjoyable' and 'highly effective because it uses many parts of the brain'. She also explained how Mind Mapping cuts down on words, paper, superfluous notes and wasted time as concepts are chrystalised and simplified into colourful diagrams.
Here are some links from Susanna's homepage:
Lumosity - games to speed up your brain!
Neuroscience and cognition - an excellent blog
Thanks, Susanna!Andrea

Susanna just pointed me to this one, as well:

One of the most exciting features on the sharpbrains website was the interview with Martin Buschkuehl. Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl’s study on Improving Fluid Intelligence by Training Working Memory (PNAS April 2008) recorded increases in mental agility (fluid intelligence) of more than 40% in less than 20 days with the right kind of brain training.
I was so impressed that I developed a software program using the same method so that anyone can achieve these improvements at home.

Hi Susanna,
I want to thank you for the mind-mapping workshop you gave at Mawson Lakes on August 22.
I went home and started my next 2 assignments from scratch, mind mapping them. Although a P1 is not exactly a great result, mind mapping really made it easier for me to work with images and plan.
One point, I think, is that the idea (mind mapping)is quite alien to many people. The final one sentence slide- "If you don't try this within 48 hours you probably never will" - is so very relevant. Perhaps it should be the first slide (while you do your intro) as well as the last,
Many thanks again,
John.
