Abstract
Tony Buzan is the creator of the mind maps who based his mnemonic
techniques of brain mapping on the terms of awareness and wide brain
functionality as well as on the ability of memorizing, reading and creativity. He conceived the idea that regular practice improves brain functions but he also introduced radiant thinking and mental literacy. One of the last enormous neuroscience ventures is to clarify the brain complexity and mind and to get a complete insight into the mental brain activity. The history of human thought and brain processes dates back in the antiquity and is marked by different ways of looking on the duality of mental and physical processes. The interaction of mental and physical processes and functioning of individual results in behavior of the body being carved in the state of mind, and vice versa. Both stable mind - body relation and integrated functions of behavior and thinking are necessary for a healthy physiological functioning of a human being.
The meaning and nature of concience and mind preoccupies as all. In
the decade of brain (1990-2000) and the century of brain (2000-1000)
numerous discussions were lead and new scientific directions formed (cognitive science, chemistry of feelings, evolutionary psychology, neurobiology, neurology of consciousness, neurophysiology of memory, philosophy of science and mind etc.) in order to understand and scientifcally clarify the mysteries of mind. The research of the mind remains as one of the biggest projects for the future. A fundamental neurobiological assumption is that there is no change in the mental state of a person without a change in the brain.
