Is it possible to live without a head? Some living beings have such a superpower. For example, a cockroach can go without its head for about three weeks. And a severed snake head can continue to function for about twelve hours. Scientists wondered how other animals react to decapitation. For example, mammals. Therefore, in twenty eleven, Dutch scientists decided to experiment on rats. To their great surprise, they really detected the animal’s brainwave activity after cutting off its head. This raises the question: does the same thing happen to a person? Of course, no such decapitation experiments were officially conducted on humans. But there are some recollections of eyewitnesses concerning guillotine executions. They can serve as an argument for the theory that the brain is capable of functioning even after death. In this video, we’ll try to figure out: what happens to a person during decapitation? Is a severed head capable of regaining consciousness? And most importantly, can a person survive decapitation?
