You have around 12-15 total seconds of maximum 'brain activity'. However, the question is do you actually have 12-15 seconds of cognitive awareness, or does the sheer force from the guillotine render you unconscious instantly? Most believe the latter, some however do believe that you could have self-awareness for up to 15 seconds.
