People in the experiment were deemed unconcious from 1.6 seconds to almost 10 seconds after the choke began. Others were not choked out after 20 seconds. If you held the person who was unconcious after 1.6 seconds for another 8 or 9 seconds, you could cause permanent brain damage or death.
Unconsciousness occurs within about 30 seconds, so it's not as if you would have very much time to contemplate what is happening. Once the brain goes unconscious, tissue begins to die after about 5 minutes of oxygen starvation. After this point, there may only be small islands of activity remaining in various brain structures. After ten to fifteen minutes, complete brain death will usually occur.
