sense experience
Noun: 1. An unelaborated elementary awareness of stimulation: The most basic, immediate, and conscious registration of a stimulus by the senses, before it is interpreted or identified by the mind. It is the raw feeling of a sensory event. 2. A sensation: The direct, subjective effect produced on the mind by the stimulation of a sense organ (e.g., eyes, ears, skin).
