What is it?

Thanks for playing! Human Brain Cloud is a very simple massively multiplayer word association game.

The idea is, given a random word, a player types the first thing that comes to mind. For instance, given the word "forest", a common word players submit might be the word "tree", and this would result in a very strong directed association between "forest" and "tree".

On the other hand, given the same word "forest", fewer people might associate it with something like "birthday party", resulting in a very weak association or no association at all.

The cloud started with just one word, "volcano". All other words and associations between them were submitted by visitors to this site. Over time and with many players, I'm curious to see how this network continues to evolve.

This isn't academically rigorous or anything, so set your expectations accordingly and have fun seeing what people subconsciously think about stuff!
