It's a subjective experience of what things are like, aka qualia. That they are not the same should be obvious by asking two questions:
1) Can you see what my brain's doing? Answer: Yes, to a degree
2) Can you see what I'm experiencing? Answer: No, not at all
Therefore what my brain's doing cannot be experience. If you poke my brain with a stick, you will in fact not be poking my experiences. You might say that experience supervenes on brain function, but you cannot equate them without abusing the English language in a pretty horrible way.
How does that follow?
I am John Cena's hip-hop album.
