You missed it, like most others. The level of attendance was disappointing. Maybe because of some other events scheduled in conflicting time slots, or maybe also because the title of the workshop did not specifically advertise that this includes updates about PTB, or maybe it was generally not well advertised, I don’t know? I don’t know the exact count of attendants, but from the video it looked like barely a dozen people. I hoped this presentation would have been well attended and created some buzz on VSS like past presentations did at previous VSS sessions with over 100 attendees, so in that sense it might be a failure, at times we could really need more community awareness and especially financial support.
Anyway, the following link points to a YouTube video with a recording of Celia Fosters 12 minute practice talk about what’s new with PTB. This is not the exact presentation given by her in the live presentation at the VSS session ofc., but close enough, i guess. Magically she managed to squeeze a lot of info into the allotted 12 minutes, something I’d never be able to achieve. Of course it misses other presentations in that 1 hour session and the shared Q & A session etc.
The session as a whole was recorded, and the plan by Mathworks seems to be to edit/cut the session into its constituent presentations and release all or parts of them to YouTube at some point. I hope all will be released, not just some select pieces, but that’s not for me to decide.

hi mario
from what i saw, it thought it was just a business meeting. I did not expect any news. So, yes, it could have been better advertised. Simply telling all psychtoolbox subscribers the day before would probably have done the trick.
thanks very much for the video link

i arrived later, and there were around 50 people.

50 people? That’s surprising, from the perspective of the room cam it looked like talking to an empty room. I hope VPixx followup session about the new ability to run Psychtoolbox experiments online in a web browser gathered some attention. That seems quite valuable, now that everybody has gone viral in a not good way the last two years.
hi mario
yes, that’s peter april’s effort.
