产品原理
MindManager有点象拿笔在纸上写、画的技术（当然比这先进多了），它是基于四十多年的对大脑如何在最佳状态下接收和处理信息的研究之上的成果。研究表明大脑的左半球负责处理线性、量性、理性和逻辑性、分析性比较强的事务以及语言表达能力，而右半球则负责处理那些非线性的、直觉的和概念性、整体性、想像性比较强的事务以及非语言能力。研究还表明，当一个信息同时刺激大脑的左右两个半球时，其记忆效果和创新机会将大大提高。其中传统的文本等形式的信息由左半球来处理，而右半球则更好的负责相应的层次结构、空间方位、图标、颜色等信息的处理。
形象思维
形象思维的概念产生于人类对自己的大脑是如何工作的深入探索的过程中。形象思维方法通过刺激视觉、触觉和感觉，以达到增进创造力和理解力的目的。MindManager运用形象思维方法，使信息同时刺激大脑两个半球，其编辑界面使得用户可以通过“形象速记法”创建并相互交流各种想法和信息。它设计了一个与人的思考方式一致的自然、直接的工作环境，因此能够减少您所花费的时间、精力，减轻压力，从而提高您的工作效率。它简明、直观、弹性伸缩的界面，合理的流水线式交流沟通方式和特别的创新灵感触发机制，最终对项目管理、产品质量监控、服务质量改进，甚至决策，都起到了很好的促进作用。
MindManager 8 for Windows新特征：
It is a visual diagram that looks like a tree with a main topic in the middle and as many sub-topics exploded out in branches. Sub-branches can have mini-branches. The branches are easy to add or move. Information in a visual format makes it more memorable, gives it context, and unveils patterns and relationships that are difficult to see in a linear document.
