Abstract: The starting point of this paper is the conceptual framework of Oparin-Kolmogorov-Anokhin on the constructive role of sensory variability mechanisms in various forms of life and processes of various structural and functional complexity occurring in them. The paper attempts to highlight the potential of studying the psychophysiological and neurobiological consequences of sensory variability using non-traditional models of formal neurons based on the ranking of input perturbations to compute the output reaction. This required the simplest non-numbering procedure of 'weighing on lever scales' and permutation-substitution operations implemented in prebiological, biological and supbiological environments, as well as processes occurring in them. The paper proposes promising areas of research in the development and practical use of biohybrid technologies.

Keywords: sensor variability; metabolic processes; neurons; modelling of brain activity; neurochemical mechanisms.
