“they very obviously share a body and the eyes and the senses take in both parts of the body so they know as it were if you like they can sense outwardly as well as inwardly what's going on um mostly in these cases the operation was done in somebody who've had a long-ish life and had got used to the coordination of the two hemispheres they they communicate with one another through the endocrine system”
