I just read the paper in full through my academic access.
The most interesting thing in it is the possibility that consciousness may, at least in some cases, continue a few minutes into cardiac arrest, whereas traditionally this is thought to peter out in a matter of seconds. Although "flicking off a switch" or "turning a light bulb off" is sometimes described for the situation under cardiac arrest, since we don't entirely know how the brain functions, a different physical analogy may be more appropriate, such as a tanker at sea that does not stop instantly just because the engine is shut off, or even an energy saving bulb, in which can be discerned a faint glow, fading, for a short while after the electric is cut. I'm not saying that is true...just that if such (physical) analogies are going to be used, one is about as good as another, and this study does not allow for a conclusion between them.
No targets were sighted.
The "veridical case" involved auditory and visual perceptions of a resuscitation. However, there is no mention of the patient's eyes being taped or otherwise constrained, so again, formally, no demonstration of an "actual" OBE state.
