The idea that there is such a thing as analogue computation is a classic oxymoron. The logic of the digital is computation and vice versa. (Now let's see how quickly this thread devolves.)
These are all great but the term of computation is being used so loosely in these contexts that has no significance. It's like how new materialists use the word action. What does it even mean, things doing things to things?

Ok, but then what about the question of neurocomputations? As Piccinini argues they are neither digital nor analogue but sui generis. Would you say that the word 'computations' has no significance in the domain of cognitive science investigations into neural processes?
