Your desktop station can run most classical analyses with MEG-EEG data, from preprocessing, to source reconstruction, connectivity etc. However, you will soon hit the limits of your individual desktop if you start running a LOT of computations. Luckily, the ICM is equipped with a cluster of computing nodes that are reserved for this purpose.

You may be able to use several hundreds computers simultaneously. Also, some of these computers have much larger amounts of memory than your desktop.

The procedure to use the cluster is explained in this documentation:
