I recently heard about Sannakji
From foodandwine.com
What is sannakji? A Korean raw dish, or hoe **in Korean, that features a young live octopus cut into small pieces and served immediately. This is not the food to eat after a screening of Finding Dory.
How to eat sannakji Eat live octopus very carefully. Approximately six people die each year by choking (those suction cups are not going down without a fight!). Make sure you chew, and chew, and chew a little more to ensure that you won't have a very preventable and potentially embarrassing death.
Turns out that the octopus limbs after being cut have neurons. Which means that they are able to move. The extremities continue to move and the suction cups still work even after it’s separated from the main body. They are then initiate a motor response without consulting the central brain.
Imagine a world where you have external motors and they have a preset motion. When the primary controller goes down to have a motor that continues to move.
