With other minds? With other matter? What like Geller bending spoons? OK.

Do they? I don't think it has been established that NDEs occur during brain dead states.

Prove that the entire experience doesn't occur immediately before or after the period of brain inactivity when the brain is active but mis-firing.

If NDEs occured during brain dead states the person/body will be technically dead, hence an experience during death. However if the brain were dead and revived again then it would still be difficult to establish when the person experienced this. Even if they did, some would and some would not believe them.

I know that military fighter jet pilots have experienced "out of body" experiences while flying under extreme G-forces. Apparently this is caused from a decreased supply of oxygen from decreased blood supply to the brain.
Its nothing more then a physiological phenomenon. See "The Psychology of Religion" by David Wulff.

whichphilosophy

Oxygen deprivation is a life threatening situaion and does approximate dying. Rather than read a whole book what did David Wulffthat is so exciting. Does he provide theory opinion or fact?

Killer Mike

He provides fact. Professor Wulff is in the department of psychology at Brown University in Providence RI USA.

whichphilosophy

Since psychology itself is a very divided subject (in fact I would say just as much as politics) it would be interesting to see any quotes by him.
