The suggested identity of computation and Turing machine sounds to me as
unjustifiable simplification,
if what we think by "computation" is allowed to encompass natural
computation.
Please have a look at the following book by Hava Siegelmann:
Neural Networks and Analog Computation: Beyond the Turing Limit
http://www.cs.umass.edu/%7Ehava/advertisement.html
Also a very instructive is book by Mark Burgin:
Super-Recursive Algorithms

With best wishes,
Gordana
