IMO, this would only prove that the subject experience something. It would
be no evidence of an afterlife or god or anything outside our current
scientific knowledge.
Such an evidence would be for example if the subject could communicate with
each other or with other entities during the experience _and_ prove this
communication afterwards. They have to bring back something (knowledge?)
that they didn't have before and that can be shown to others.
Nice idea, btw. I think I would volunteer under certain circumstances.
