Can you blink your eyes or talk AFTER you have been beheaded?

Are you expecting someone to post from experience or something?

Maybe someone that has witnessed a beheading can shed some light on the subject?

Haha wow...I don't even really know how to answer that. I mean, when I behead chickens the beak sometimes opens and closes and occasionally the eyes twitch. Like you said, there is some brain activity, but it is just nerves...blood is no longer flowing to the brain. Honestly though, how could anyone know the answer to this without experiencing it firsthand?

Try going to a muslim forum

there shoulda been a glitch in skyrim in vain of the fallout NV glitch where the severed head had a monologue

Anything is possible.

Maybe a few seconds,until they bled out.

But seriously, I saw a video of a death-row inmate who agreed to be decapitated for a scientist, who wanted to see if people could live. I think it was on liveleak, it's an old-style video looks like it's from the 80's. But the guy blinked twice, after being told to blink twice if he can hear the doctor. interesting, really sorry i don't have the link, it was like 3 years ago I saw it.

blinking, yes. talking, dont be such a complete fucktard. talking requires the ability to to force air through your vocal cords, and then your tongue and lips. hard to do that without lungs and a diaphragm, genius

It takes about 30 seconds for conciousness to fade after the neck is severed.

Talking is impossible because that requires lungs and a voicebox..

But one can look around and KNOW what has happenned.

Chop off a chooks head and see for yourself.

They look around and still react to stimuli for about 30 seconds AFTER they head is cut from the body.

Yes. You also try to talk... has to be a clean and quick beheading but it happens...

great thread bro.. chet just ate supper, collard grns. mash pot, new york steak, gravy, cobb salad, and im replying ?? anyways yes i wouod assume the eyes would blink and the mouth move is all due to nerve reaction chet i dont know .. there goes my supper

So for up to 30 seconds the head is still "alive" and conscious? It is thinking and seeing?

Fascinating.

Yes. The best beheadings are those that leave the flap of skin on the throat and the head falls forward onto the chest, at least in the ME thats how they like it...

It’s likely that yes, the brain remains conscious for a few seconds after a head leaves its body.

When the guillotine was commonly used in revolutionary France, there were numerous reports of decapitated heads moving for up to 30 seconds, blinking eyes and showing expression. But scientists studying decapitated rats’ heads think the brain only functions for about four seconds after being severed.

There is a wave of brain activity about 40 seconds after decapitation in rats and in humans, though that researchers think might be the real line between life and death, when the neurons in the brain lose their electrical charge and completely stop functioning.

There have been accounts of people surviving what’s called internal decapitations, where the bones of the skull separate from the spine. In those cases, the neck has to be rebuilt to keep the head aloft.

Yes. It was noticed by some during the French Revolution when they were beheading hundreds daily that some heads would look in the direction of the sound if you yelled out their name.

It lasted no longer than 10 or 15 seconds.

Inaccurate statement.

A person can still talk without breathing. Try it.

Maybe you should actually THINK and TRY before you say things are impossible.

oh thats hefty hey bro someone called you a fucktard, dont mean to laugh but ive never heard such a word

I said UP to 30 seconds.

And ive lopped of hundreds of chooks and ducks heads.

I KNOW what im talking about.

MAYBE..just MAYBE..you should THINK before popsting stupid answers to intelligent and experienced posters.

I think this question has been already been attempted to be answered...

Can't say that I have.

So it's impossible for you to make noise through your mouth without breathing?

Are you that stupid?

READ what I said again DICKHEAD!

No..dont bother..ILL POST it in the hope that your rather soggy an untintelligent BRAIN can absorb it..

I SAID...

And you're still wrong.

A person can still talk without lungs and a voice box.

I think it reasonable to assume the blockage of circulation by a Judo chokehold gives a feeling for interval. It is less than 3 seconds to unconsciousness.

Head of Scourge.
Morrowind style...

Maybe they can't talk without a voice box...but definitely without lungs.

There are beheading uploaded daily from Mexican drug cartels

John Wayne Bobbit sure as hell did.
