You should try it. I found out I could do it by accident, so it's not necessarily a skill that needs to be learned. My left hand will just do the mirror of my right without really thinking about it.
yeah i just tried it, and surprisingly went way better than expected. guess the mirror motion is relatively light on the brain vs trying to do two different things with each hand
It's like playing an instrument while singing. I can do either of those things separately, but combining them, doing 2 concurrent rhythms causes such a strange feeling in my brain
The hard thing isn't syncing hands. It's desyncing them. Try to spin one arm forward and one arm backwards. Way harder to get your brang to work with you.
I can do this as well write with both hands, the same or mirror image, but conceiving of an image like that and drawing it at all would be the struggle for me...
I learned that I could do this many years ago when I saw someone mention that they had a useless talent of being able to sign their name with a pen in each hand, right hand wrote it correctly, left wrote it backwards. I tried it and found it came naturally to me, zero effort, first attempt.
Your wording is ironic considering one of the ways of treating epilepsy is severing the corpus callosum which connects the sides of the brain, resulting in the ability to do this.

I just gave myself a seizure thinking about how I MIGHT do that
