Wow... Imagine the mental processing it would take to sort out 4 visual impressions. O.o

Just thinking what that would mean in terms of their perception, they'd have a super-panoramic view given their combined fields of vision (perhaps I-MAX style?). Interesting article, it also said they probably share thoughts.  |

Ok, when I first read "Creepy News: Four Eyes" I thought you were referring to us poor saps with glasses  As a mother of twins, the article was very interesting... |

What's amazing to me in that article is the Schappell sisters. Conjoined, 49, and leading distinct, enjoyable lives. And they don't want to even consider a separation procedure. I had never thought it possible for conjoined twins to be able to enjoy life like that. They're also giving hope to the Hogan girls. Wow! What grace!

Actually it's a fun concept to write. I incorporated this kind of mental link in several of my stories using human POVs who became telepathically bonded with a unique species of dragon from the opposite rim of the galaxy from Earth. The doppleganger effect is intense, one scene had the human looking into the eyes of his draconic symbiote; talk about the infinite series of mirrors effect. And the dragons are intense empaths so there was the added dimension of awareness of emotional states as well as thoughts being recycled and fed back. I don't think I really did the potential in that scene justice.  SGD dave |
