Conjoined Twins Tatiana and Kristin Hogan

I have some questions to expand on this subject.
In the case of Tatiana and Krista they were able to see out of each other's eyes, which obviously open them up to larger views and a tremendous amount of visual stimuli.

1. While they were able to see out of each other's eyes, were they able to interpret what they saw?
2. We know that they could see out of each other's eyes as a physical phenomenon, but were they able to process what they saw in the other person's eyes?

4. Did so much visual stimuli cause problems?
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome
