That site and others, in my opinion, cast reasonable doubt on some of the details of her out of body experience. Unlike, say, UFOs, it seems like you could set up an incontrovertible OBE test because all you need is a person and a target that can't normally be seen. If the phenomenon were repeatable and conclusive, I'd be more confident in believing such stories.

I'd like to believe that out of body experiences at death are from the pineal gland dumping dimethlytriptaime into the brain.

I read the article associated with another thread, so if there are clarifying details, please correct me.
She states that her "OBE" is like she cannot disassociate from her body. She is still feeling her body feelings. In essence, she has an episode of highly vivid imagination of what OBE would be like. But she doesn't disassociate from her body.
This "study" isn't a study. Its the use of expensive machinary to probe the inner workings of an active imagination. It has only a casual relationship to OBE's.

I am quoting myself here to remind everyone what it is we are talking about. The scientists in the OP unlocked only 1 thing: what the brain scan of a single individual with a good imagination looks like.

Any tests conducted on a single individual has little real world value. It isn't science, no matter how expensive the measurement devices are.
