Is there any study on whether both heads are performing complete neural functionalities at the same time or not or how does it manage to distribute the functionalities between the two?

So, how do the two heads compete? Is there any dominance/recessive head characteristic in these creatures or is it variable depending on the environment?
-
A lot of it is the "age" of the head (time from induction) - they get more dominant as they mature.

Did you quantify if one head is permanently dumber/posterior/follower or do they take turns?
-
Depends on origin. Cut middle from 2-headed parent - the 2 new heads are basically equivalent. But if induce an ectopic head in presence of mature head, the mature one is dominant and the new one takes time to spread its influence. Mechanism here:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/815688v1 …
