This version of NeuriteIQ (Version 1.0) only runs on a machine with Matlab installed. No installation is required for this software. Note that the program code is implemented in Matlab and supports MATITK (http://matitk.cs.sfu.ca/), Just download the source codes and run the program under Matlab environment. Please read and agree the license before running the program.
