Undoubtedly conjoined conjoined twin heads (scientifically called craniopagus) will partially share mental activity. Obviously, this is due to the integration of the corresponding parts of the brain. For example, if the shared area is responsible for visual perception, then the twin who did not see the object will be able to mentally restore it thanks to its counterpart who saw the object. It is not only the perception of Siamese people that can be shared. Some people are also able to really think in two heads, as do the craniopagus twins Tatiana and Krista Hogan described in the article. It is not necessary to assume that brain activity will become more productive from this – on the contrary, such children have obvious developmental delays. The only phenomenal thing is that the idea that has arisen will fall into two heads at once: the first can voice the thoughts of the second.
However, it should be borne in mind that not all craniopages have such abilities, the nature and degree of fusion in each pair of conjoined twins are unique, which means that there are a lot of variations in synchronously working pairs of brains. Surprisingly, in this situation, some develop into almost independent personalities. An example is the amazing couple Laurie and Dory (George) Chappelle. They learned to use a common part of the brain (namely the frontal lobes) in turn. It turns out that they think alternately, without knocking each other down.
