Can a decapitated head see, hear or blink?

Thought of this watching that Miller beer commercial where a boxer’s head is knocked off, then the head speaks. Someone else wondered too. A condemned man’s family was going to be given $$ if he blinked after he was decapitated at the Tower of London. Is this medically/neurologically possible?

I read about it in a Law school text on wills;not sure what the outcome was.

Cecil discusses this.

Gee-zus. That’s got to be the most blood-curdling SD column I’ve ever read, by far.
