Various different connotation of consciousness exist, e.g. phenomenal consciousness, access consciousness, conscious vs. unconscious processing, to name just a few that come to mind. (We should probably extend this list in a separate page consciousness.) We could use the term "conscious experience" to pick out a specific notion of consciousness, e.g. as in the following definition.
Idea for Definition v1
A promising choice is to use somewhat phenomenological terminology in defining the term conscious experience, referring to the totality of how experience 'reveals itself' to an experiencing subject, how the experiencing subject finds itself experiencing, or how the "the world" appears to it.
One could opt for a more approachable terminology and define the term conscious experience to denote totality of impressions, feelings, thoughts, perceptions, etc. which an experiencing subject lives through at a particular instant of time.
Relation to other definitions/descriptions of the phenomenon
The idea would be to come up with a definition above that is (most) general and allows to reduce to other notions. E.g.: - The connotation of perceiving a stimulus consciously (or not) simply concerns one specific aspect, or element, of conscious experience as defined above.
