Aamazing Conjoined twin girls, do they share one mind?

Like any twins, the Hogans have their differences - for a start, four-year-old Krista loves tomato ketchup, but her sister Tatiana hates it.
Except their mother only knows that because one day when Krista was happily eating the sauce, Tatiana made a face and tried to scrape it off her tongue - even though she hadn't touched a drop.
It's just one of the remarkable incidents which have astonished doctors in British Columbia treating the conjoined twins, who say they may have a unique neural link which means they share one mind
They believe the sisters share a part of the brain called the thalamus, which sends physical sensations and motor functions to the cerebral cortex.
In other words, they are effectively able to see through each other's eyes - and perhaps even hear each others' thoughts.
In an in-depth interview with the New York Times their mother, Felicia Simms, revealed how when one twin has her eyes covered, she can identify what the other one sees - and they even respond with a 'whoa' as if they are full when the other one drinks too much juice.

Todd Feinberg, the professor of psychiatry and neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, told the Times: 'It’s like they are one and two people at the same time.'
Their neurosurgeon, Douglas Cochrane of British Columbia Children's Hospital, has christened the unique link - which shows up on brain scans as a line between the two girls' brains - as a 'thalamic bridge'

Just one in 2.5million pairs of twins are born with the girls' condition, craniopagus, in which their skulls are fused together.
The most famous siblings with craniopagus are Lori and Reba Schappell, who were born in Pennsylvania and are now 49. They decided not to be separated, and Reba went on to have a career as a country singer.
But even the Schappells do not share Krista and Tatiana's unique link. Soon after they were born, doctors thought they might be able to share one another's perceptions.
In an early video, one of the girls begins to cry when the other sister undergoes a blood test, and both could be calmed with one pacifier.
Their proud mother, 26-year-old Miss Simms, said she was stunned when she was told her twins were conjoined, but said she never had any hesitation in keeping them.
At first doctors discussed the possibility of separating the girls with their mother and father, Miss Simms's on-off childhood sweetheart Brendan Hogan. But they eventually decided the procedure would be too dangerous as their brains are so closely intertwined
