The brain (that thing we don't know a great deal about and, ironically, also the very source of all ponderings on what is and what may be) does funny and immeasurable things when subjected to something as serious as a NDE. In such an instance, the absolute last thing that can be relied upon at that moment, is any conclusion drawn from the brain in question.
What i like to think a soul to be is the non-analytical parts of the mind. The parts that react to "normal" stimuli inconsistently at best and chaotically at worst. Emotions, drives, personality, individuality. Dogs, cats, even sheep if we were to look hard enough, have that by the bucketload. We're not special.
