Many NDEs have veridical OBEs that occur during surgery while in a non life threatening situation (but then turn into a life threatening situation), e.g. pam reynolds & al sullivan. Also some physically healthy people under emotional stress have NDEs. This strongly contradicts the syncope and dying brain hypothesis, but it also contradicts transcendental hypothesis because why would the soul leave the body when it's not damaged at all?This has always bothered me because it undermines ALL explanations for NDEs, whether materialist or dualist. Do professional NDE researchers have an opinion on this?
P.S. I have another sleep paralysis where I saw a white light covering about 70% of my field of vision, and there were rotating geometric patterns in the white light (reminded me of dmt hallucinations). The light was nothing like described in NDEs, I have a dell u2711 monitor and it's around as bright as 90 brightness with white background, definitely far from the 1000 suns brightness. Made me think, maybe some of the NDEs "reproduced" via magnetic stimulations/god helmet just see similar white lights and the experimenters then conclude they've reproduced NDEs. If you stimulate the visual cortex in a dark room while the person is lying back relaxed, I'm not surprised people see a white light and darkness around it and feel peaceful, the sense presence I can't explain as easily but then again I feel presence a lot of times during shower/toilet mirror (watch the ring/the grudge).
