You're thinking with one. ;-)
That would be a big "no", then.
Sounds like a "yes" to me. You are running a general purpose analog
computer, as a brain. It can run programs in the sense that a digital
computer can, or you'd have a really hard time writing programs,
compilers, and figuring out where your bugs are. You would be unable to
simulate a turing machine with pencil and paper. :-)
