I do believe someone experimented with that during the time of the French Revolution, when people were regularly getting their heads chopped off.
According to this man, a friend, acquaintance, accomplice or whatever had a close encounter with a guillotine, and right after the deed was done, he talked to the head, which still had the ability to communicate for about 10 seconds by blinking of the eyes. Twice for yes, once for no, that sort of thing.
I have no information about the validity of this experiment, but possibly Google can aid.
