Do you think Parnia had a hit in AWARE 2, or not?

You do understand that if someone believes that NDEs are a glimpse of the afterlife, then any "materialistic" explanation is going to seem shallow, right? That's because the materialistic explanation is necessarily preliminary and lacking in details, whereas the afterlife explanation can be decked out with all sorts of presumptive details without need for evidence.

It depends why they believe it perhaps. The absence of evidence may be fine for some but not for everyone who thinks there a non material explanation.
