An example of what I consider strong evidence: a person who had their brain imaged by an fMRI while performing some set of relatively simple mental tasks both before and after experiencing a PCE had radically different results.
That would not entirely convince me, but it would certainly make me take your claims much more seriously. If there had been ten such experiments, all ten people who claimed PCEs had similar results, and the experiments had been verifiably performed in a sound way, I would then almost certainly devote significant resources to achieving a PCE.
There have been some studies on meditation and MRIs that you may be interested in.
I’ve seen a couple of those, and consider them significant evidence that certain meditation techniques are useful. As naivecortex is claiming that PCEs have effects much more dramatic than meditation, I would expect to see MRI data that is correspondingly stronger.
