title: How Do We Keep Information 'Online'?
abstract: New magnetoencephalography (MEG) results indicate that a putative marker of conscious processes - namely, the global broadcasting of information across large-scale cortical networks - can also operate during the maintenance of non-conscious input. I discuss the implications for the theoretical linkage between conscious awareness and working memory functions.
