Several years ago I recall hearing of an experiment that was to be conducted to determine whether or not patients having NDE's could report back objective information from their experiences. As part of the study, hospital rooms where NDE's are most likely to occur would be fitted with pictures that could only be seen from near the ceiling, as many NDE patients report that they have "floated" above their "dead" bodies, viewing the scene from overhead. It seemed like an intriguing way to experimentally determine if something paranormal might be going on in these cases.
Here is a news report from a few years ago about the experiment:

I did some searching and this link is apparently to the results of the study (it looks like it requires registration and/or a fee to access its entirety):
http://www.resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-9572(14)00739-4/abstract?cc=y=Wikipedia does have some information about it:
