According to experiments reportedly performed by Dr. Beaurieux in 1905 on a condemned (and decapitated) prisoner by the name of Henri Languille, the head continued to blink and respond to his name being called for several seconds.
However - the massive loss in blood pressure will cause unconsciousness. And, medically speaking, the brain only survives for a few (~4) minutes without a blood supply.
Many *cells* in the human body can survive for prolonged periods (even days) after death - but the body itself will die without the brain to control it. The heart stops beating, and the lungs stop breathing: no blood supply circulates with oxygen, so tissues will begin to die almost immediately.

They rely on surprise and short bursts of speed (up to 27mph (43 km/h)[3]) to overrun their prey, sacrificing maneuverability. The larger barracudas are more or less solitary in their habits.
