Personal experience
{{Unreferenced|date=January 2008}}
'''Personal experience''' of a [[human being]] is the moment-to-moment [[experience]] and [[sensory awareness]] of internal and external events.

==History==
(contracted; show full)eas. [[Immanuel Kant]] noted that it was only possible to explain "experience and its objects" as a consequence of each other: either experience makes those objects possible, or those objects make experience possible. This is seen today as [[dualism]], and denying the possibility of a third thing making both experience and whatever reality its objects have, both possible. That thing could be a more universal [[cognition]], as proposed in some versions of [[Christianity]] or [[Gaia philosophy]].


Recently, computer scientists have become interested in the data structures and computational resources required for keeping detailed records of a person's personal experiences over a lifetime.  The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has a special interest group in multimedia, [http://www.sigmm.org/Members/jgemmell/CARPE SIGMM Site - CARPE Research Area], devoted to the capture, archival, and retrieval of personal experiences.⏎
