They should have told him before: blink with your eyes after the decapitation. Then we would know it.

This was extensively experimented upon during the French Revolution and guess what....They can be conscious for up to 30 seconds.

It wasnt "extensively experimented". What the "doctor" saw was involuntary movement of eyes and eyelids. No one is staying conscious longer than 2-3 seconds after a decapitation like that. Brain without blood pressure goes night night very quickly, youve probably had some vertigo yourself if youve stood up too fast. Thats a minor drop in cranial blood pressure. A decapitation is a total drop. 99% of people would instantly black out, before you could react.
They didnt know any of this back then, we do now so yeah myth busted. Why do you think blood chokes in MMA and BJJ work so well? theyre capable of putting people to sleep in seconds. Sleep, as in not conscious anymore. A properly applied one will put anyone to sleep in seconds, and again thats not a total drop because the arteries arent completely shut close.

Actually I had this in mind. Not from French Revolution but French nonetheless:
The following report was written by Dr. Beaurieux, who observed the head of executed prisoner Henri Languille, on 28 June 1905:
''Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds. This phenomenon has been remarked by all those finding themselves in the same conditions as myself for observing what happens after the severing of the neck ...
I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased. [...] It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: "Languille!" I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions – I insist advisedly on this peculiarity – but with an even movement, quite distinct and normal, such as happens in everyday life, with people awakened or torn from their thoughts.
Next Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves. I was not, then, dealing with the sort of vague dull look without any expression, that can be observed any day in dying people to whom one speaks: I was dealing with undeniably living eyes which were looking at me. After several seconds, the eyelids closed again [...].
It was at that point that I called out again and, once more, without any spasm, slowly, the eyelids lifted and undeniably living eyes fixed themselves on mine with perhaps even more penetration than the first time. Then there was a further closing of the eyelids, but now less complete. I attempted the effect of a third call; there was no further movement – and the eyes took on the glazed look which they have in the dead''

Yes I've read that, thats the only thing people quote. And the good doctor was simply mistaken about what he saw.

That was done I think during a French beheading once. If you look into history on it I think you will find it. The head was asked a question and if I remember correctly the "head" did respond.... of sorts. Then the head went lifeless very soon after.
