How is a NDE not entirely unlike that had by other people, which could be traced to brain activity in them, 'proof' of an afterlife?

Because changes to your brain can change your own perceptions. If the right changes were made to your brain, you'd be absolutely certain that yesterday someone turned you into a duck and then changed you back (hell, the right changes can convince someone that they're still a duck). And if the right changes are made while you're unconscious, you'll be absolutely certain you saw angels and heaven.
