World Mind Mapping Day Competiton
世界思维导图日竞赛

June 2nd is World Mind Map Day – a fitting date as this would have been the 78th birthday of Tony Buzan, inventor of Mind Maps. Tragically, Tony passed away prematurely on April 13 last year.
6月2日是世界思维导图日，这是一个合适的日子，因为这一天是思维导图的发明者托尼·布赞的78岁生日。不幸的是，托尼在去年4月13日过早去世。

To celebrate Tony's life, and World Mind Map Day, a Mind Mapping Competition will start today.
为了庆祝托尼的一生和世界思维导图日，一场思维导图竞赛将于今天开始

Changes to Global Arbiters

Congratulations!!

New Promotions in the World of Memory and Mind Sports.

To reflect the momentous changes in the global environment during 2020 the World Memory Sports Council hereby announces some important changes in the hierarchy of organised worldwide Memory Power competitions. We feel happy to announce that Phil Chambers U.K. has assumed the position of Chief Arbiter Emeritus For Mind Sports. We thank Phil for his decades of service to Memory Championships.

Meanwhile we congratulate Lester He of China as the new WMSC Global Chief Arbiter, in charge of orchestrating all world memory championships for the foreseeable future.

Lester has gained valuable experience in conducting the series of world memory championships which have been staged in Wuhan, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore, Guangzhou, Hainan and Chengdu. Lester’s experience is vast and his competence and logistical skills are legendary.

We wish him the best of good fortune, as our founding father Tony Buzan loved to express it. We are confident that with Lester in charge, the future of global memory championships lies in excellent hands.

Additionally, Prince Marek Kasperski, Australia, a long standing friend of China and Tony Buzan’s personal student and editor in chief of Synapsia, www.synapsia.net, The Brain Trust online magazine, has graciously consented to accept the post of Global Chief Arbiter for the mental sports of both Mind Mapping and Speed Reading.

With two such dependable stalwarts of Mind Sports now in charge of competitive championships, we look forward with confidence to a highly successful future.

As Tony Buzan would have said: Floreant Dendritae, May Your Brain Cells Flourish!

The Brain Trust Mission Statement.

To advance global mental health by all means possible , including research, support and funding for individuals and organisations which promote mind improving and healing activities and initiatives.

Synapsia Magazine

Dear Supporters of Synapsia Magazine.

Synapsia Magazine relies on the generosity of many contributors, who graciously give up their time to write articles for our Synapsia Magazine.

Tony and I have been publishing articles for the magazine since 2015, and I have now taken over the mantle of Editor in Chief. It has always been envisaged that Synapsia Magazine is available to everyone free of charge, and that will not chnage. However, as from our next edition (delayed due to Covid19) we will place a PayPal Donation button next to the download. If you think the edition of Synapsia is worth a small amount of money for the download, or just a donation, please click on the button and help the Brain Trust.

Everyone at Synapsia Magazine donate their time to produce the magazine, and this will continue.

Marek Kasperski, Editor in Chief, Synapsia Magazine.

Synapsia magazine was founded a quarter of a century ago by Tony Buzan as the official publication of the international Brain Clubs which later metamorphosed into the Brain Trust charity. Many noted intellectuals contributed including Garry Kasparov the world chess champion, Howard Gardner of multiple intelligence fame and Director of the Institute for Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition, Professor Michael Crawford.

Synapsia rose to become the main news conduit for the Brain of the Year awards, the World Memory Championships and research into the nature of Genius and the Ageing Brain. Fifteen years ago the print version ceased publication but now it has been revived online by Brain Trust Royal Patron, Marek Kasperski. With the active participation of Dr Manahel Thabet, Brain Trust President for the Middle East and North Africa, and the renewed commitment of Professor Tony Buzan himself, inventor of Mind Maps, Synapsia online is now inviting fresh contributions connected with learning, education and Brainpower, to enhance and expand our existing work, work which in many cases turned out to be predictive, cutting edge and, indeed, prophetic!
