There are a number of links to surgeons, and theatre nurses, placing unusual objects on cabinets in the operating theatre after a patient is anesthetised, and not one patient who claimed to have an out of body experience - looking down on themselves during the operation, mentioned any of these objects. Rather like seances, where, rather than give valuable scientific information, such as describing where they are, and their experiences there, those "contacted" simply talk about vapid matters that are totally meaningless - 'How's Aunty Ethyl getting on? Is the cat still alive?", these near death and out of body experiences offer no insight to what it's really like being dead. I'd suggest that's because they can't, and aren't really dead.
An Oxford University study done in 2015, came to the same conclusion:
"Most recollections are intensely geo-physical, anthropomorphic, banal and illogical: their dream-like fantasy provides nothing revelatory about life without a brain, or importantly, about other supposed cosmic contexts. Additionally, it is proposed that since prevalence rates are so extremely low (<1% globally), the few subjects undergoing ND/OBE may have predisposed brains, genetically, structurally or resulting from previous psychological stress. In a somewhat similar vein to post-traumatic stress disorder, subjects with predisposed brains exhibit markedly changed post-experiential phenotypes, so that the ND/OBE itself could be viewed as a transient, accompanying epiphenomenon."
