Abstract
The Extended Consciousness builds on the strengths of the proto conscious and the core consciousness to add a sense of experience onto the basic alertness provided by core consciousness. The Angular Gyrus Model of Consciousness provides some hints as to how the experential image is built. In this article I explore the role of the Temporal-Parietal Fiber Intersection Area in providing links between other parts of the brain and the Angular Gyrus that encourage the formation of the experential image.
