  CALL FOR DOODLES!
  The Mind Team is collecting doodles for its web site
  March 1, 2006 – September 1, 2006
   
  Doodles can tell us a lot about our own minds. Some psychologists use doodles to explore the thoughts and feelings of people who may not be able to use their own words to describe their troubled emotions. Doodles such as the ones we create when we're bored or listening to others speak might be suggestive of worries, interests, or preoccupations.
  We are collecting doodles (and descriptions of the doodles) to check out and display. Your doodles might appear on the homepage of this web site

These are the types of doodles we are currently collecting:
