The device in Brainstorm did have a number of interesting possibilities.
However, seeing the after-death experience is not one of them, so the
discussion as it stands is moot.  There would be no way for the device to
pick up information once brain-death occurred.  In the movie, it just
blithely continues to record the experiences of her soul.  No doubt this was
made possible by new astral plane technology they didn't bother to tell us
about.  Right.
