Build Release

Download Links: “Hou” versions (2024-)(Pre-release under testing)

Hou version is currently at the pre-release stage under frequent updates and testing

Download and unzip to run the executive. No installation is needed. DSI Studio has a high version turning rate, and the computation outcome may differ between versions. I would recommend keeping a local copy of DSI Studio for each research project and updating DSI Studio every time a new project is initiated.
