I think a lot of the problem with researching that is that we are trusting the brain to explain something the brain did in a moment of complete panic and losing function.
Its a problem with all Psychology, is that we cannot read minds. So the person has to explain what they saw, filtered through dozens of hoops that is their own brain and its perspectives, beliefs, and limitations. Both as they experienced it and in the recounting.
Its all super interesting stuff, but I think the lot of it is a bird staring at a computer screen. Something we are nowhere near able to comprehend on a level that isn't limited to mostly guesswork by our own brain.
I think it's going to be a really fascinating field of study, just as soon as we gain some humility for how little we actually know, and we can approach the problems without insisting that we definitely already know how it all works, as modern science does.
Its already quite fascinating, because we can glean things from it regardless.
But we need to always keep that limitation in mind before we make strong statements on things like God or Heaven, because, like you said, we need to keep humility.
