On macOS, you may get errors when trying to use mex files (e.g. when running SPM normalization). See this Fieldtrip FAQ post for a solution.
If there are other solutions, please share!
This was documented before:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SPM/Installation_on_64bit_Mac_OS_(Intel)#macOS_Big_Sur
I had a section about it on the Installation page, but only for starting the compiled version of Brainstorm.
I will had the links to the SPM and FieldTrip bug pages somewhere else.

@Marc.Lalancette Let me know if you think there are other basic features that could lead to this error, so I can add this section in other parts of the documentation.
On all the newer versions of MacOS, this might happen for all the MEX files.
For example, with permutation tests:
Go to the system configuration for "Security and privacy" and click Allow anyway.
Or follow the instructions from the FieldTrip or SPM websites:
