Hi Sayam,
Which R packages did you have in mind?
R itself can be run with a very sparse configuration.
However, if you can call packages to run processes in parallel your procesding time will be much faster. You will also need enough internal storage for your fMRI data.This can vary widely pet experiment. Probably a minimum of 2gb per subject session.
Experiment on a cloud platform or whatever you have on hand to get a better idea

Sorry for the typos. My 4 month old infant woke up as I was typing.
Also, in order to run in paralell, you would need a system witb multiple CPUs. Again, I would recommend downloading some similar data and process it on whatever computer you have now. You could also try out different configurations on a cloud computer like google cloud or azure. You probably should not put your own data on cloudserver unless approved to do so by your irb.
