Where would you say experience ends, and qualia begins? The way these words are being used seems to make little distinction between them other than one referring to a specific instance of what the other refers to in generalized terms.
As for myself I would argue that an experience, and therefore qualia, amount to an accumulated and generalized succession of multiple sensory inputs amalgamated by feedback and hysteresis over time, and informed by the gross structure and constraints of the sensory apparatus they are carried upon.
