Unless the study included 4 day old dead bodies, someone just decapitated, then there is no real control groups. In tact brains still can be damaged. And it still does not mean that no brain activity means dead, even with the brain your juice could also be flying under the radar. Clinical death can also mean merely a misdiagnosis on the doctors part, and or the equipment not picking up the vitals.
The methodology used in the study was not bad. They installed cards with specific shape that can only be viewed if you had an out-of-body experience. It was unfortunate that the only two people to be able to claim such an out-of-body experience didn't have their CA in one of these rooms.
The paper is consistent with some people able to be aware of their surroundings for about 3-4 minutes after a CA. The fact they have experiences during CA should not surprise anyone. So people who want to use NDE as proof of an afterlife, souls, spirits, etc, are misinterpreting the findings.
