Have you heard of technology? Technology that records things? Like an EEG? Scientists do not need to stand next to an EEG to realize that it's flat.

You say that since one cannot stand in the presence of an NDE, it cannot be studied? That's ridiculous.
.......... the kind of technology you would use to study chemical changes in the brain is nothing like an EEG, and how do you propose a scientist (a) know when a near death experience is about to occur (b) conduct an orderly study under the circumstances surrounding a near death.

If you can't do that, then there is no call for you to call what I say 'ridiculous'.

This typifies the extraordinary arrogance and narrow-mindedness of certain science fundamentalists like yourself.
I'm going to start call you 'super-flake' if you don't drop the (false) commentaries. I'm not a proponet of scientism, I just recognize the domains of science and disapprove of trespasses.

Although you seem to be missing the point completely. An out-of-body experience does not need to be triggered by a near-death experience. They have been induced by certain drugs, such as ketamine, and are commonly induced by a form of meditation. Experienced OBErs can "project" on a near daily basis.
... from study, drugs and meditation are both known to alter brain chemistry, but that does not equate with other planes of existence.

Now, I thought we were talking about NDE in particular? How did I miss the point?
