Only a few minutes before brain damage. During the French
Revolution when they had all the be-headings,
the eyes would blink on the heads and look around for a few minutes. Could have just been nerve responses though.

The answer is.......11 seconds from the time blood flow stops. That is when you would lose the higher brain functions. Then about 1min later the brain starts to shut down. Then totally brain dead within 10 min.

In television, heads survive even how many hours.... ^_^
But in true life, head can survive at least 2-3 mins...
I read this article in a true story..
It is true...

Technically, not at all. However, if one were to sever a human head it may continue for a minute or so blinking, lips moving, twitching etc. But-boy oh boy, is it ever dead!

It can't. Brain function depends on blood circulation and when cut off (pun intended) from the source everything shuts down. Great question, you must watch a lot of horror films.

As long as it receives the nutrients it needs, doesn't lose any blood or anything, and there are no internal problems, it can survive indefinitely...

It can survive seven to twelve seconds depending on how fast your heart was beating prior to decapitation. although it doesn't really matter because you lose all consciousness when your spinal column and medulla oblengota are seperated so its pointless!
