Abstract：
Living organisms achieve homeostasis by using distinct mechanisms tailored to their physiological complexity. Unicellular organisms as well as plants, which are devoid of nervous systems, rely on covert sensing/detecting and equally covert responding mechanisms. Organisms with nervous systems rely on overt consciousness which is based on homeostatic feelings and the experiences and consequent subjectivity they generate. This article is part of the theme issue \'Sensing and feeling: an integrative approach to sensory processing and emotional experience\'.
摘要：
活生物体通过使用针对其生理复杂性定制的不同机制来实现稳态。单细胞生物以及植物，缺乏神经系统，依靠隐蔽的感知/检测和同样隐蔽的响应机制。具有神经系统的生物依赖于公开的意识，这种意识基于体内平衡的感觉以及它们产生的经验和随之而来的主观性。本文是主题为“感觉和感觉：感觉处理和情感体验的综合方法”的一部分。
