Well,mind-mapping is widely used in taking notes & doing research.I have done that many times and it allows me to absorb vast information compared to remembering things by reading.Below is a video by Tony Buzan as well as Tracy

 

Mind-map is an overall sketches of ideas by using IMAGES, KEYWORDS, CURVE LINES and SUBJECT MATTER.The subject matter would be placed in the middle and further divided into curved branches which contain the keyword. Images is inserted to strengthen memory power.

  AN EXAMPLE OF MIND MAP

 Mind maps can be used for:

• problem solving
• outline/framework design
• structure/relationship representations
• anonymous collaboration
• marriage of words and visuals
• individual expression of creativity
• condensing material into a concise and memorable format
• team building or synergy creating activity
• enhancing work morale 

In addition to these direct use cases, data retrieved from mind maps can be used to enhance several other applications, for instance expert search systems, search engines and search and tag query recommender. To do so, mind maps can be analysed with classic methods of information retrieval to classify a mind map's author or documents that are linked from within the mind map.
