I have a vague familiarity with that view, and that is definitely not the view I hold.

That view states, as you describe, that somehow the whole is more than just the sum of the parts. I reject that. Instead, my claim is that if the only parts you have are physical parts, you will not get consciousness. You need other parts too -- specifically, mental/consciousness parts.

(although, this sounds closer to a dualist view, while my view is more idealist)
