NDE is a neurological reaction of the brain that occurs when a person's body is under extreme stress due to a life-threatening event such as surgery, accident, starvation, etc. The purpose is to keep the brain alive as long as possible even though the rest of the body might be dying, since the brain is the seat of our personality. It is not a supernatural experience and is not evidence of an afterlife. It is simply a survival neurological reaction to a near-death situation, and is similarly to dreaming, another neurological function of the brain when it is asleep.
