How to Draw a Map of Your Brain
So perhaps the title is a bit misleading as this is not actually a "how to" but rather a what if I was able to see a map of brain daily, weekly, monthly?
I recently participated in a project on Posterous called "Draw Your Brain" for a creative group called The Research Club, the idea is: "Who needs an MRI when you've got a pen and a napkin?" I whipped one up promptly, albeit with a computer with a mouse.
An idea has been bouncing around in my head for some time about displaying a chronologically ordered word cloud of links I share and keywords that occur in my social stream- a map of information my brain is consumes on a daily basis (see photo slide show below).
While drawing my brain I added a layer of drawing connections between three focal points (from memory) of what I think my thoughts and pursuits connect to. I think this idea would be a neat way to self reflect and chart the trends of ones own mind. Perhaps one would see the ideas as they gestate leading one to make life changing decisions, etc...
Thoughts, feedback would be much appreciated.
