Mel May, an Australian video producer, discovered she lacks inner speech, a condition called anendophasia, which affects her thought processes and memories.

Researchers have long assumed that having an inner voice is a universal human experience, but a new study reveals that this isn't the case. Approximately 5-10% of the population doesn't have an inner voice, which can affect their performance on certain memory tests, the study found. This phenomenon, recently dubbed "anendophasia," was only formally identified last year. "People are ignorant about the characteristics of their own inner experience. And it doesn't matter how confident you are," Russell Hurlburt, a psychology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told AFP.

UNLV officials announced late Friday that the federal government has revoked the visas of four international students, making academic futures uncertain for those affected. The university conveyed empathy and a readiness to provide support, indicating that they had anticipated such developments.

“We celebrated our 20th anniversary at the Fontainebleau last year, and it seemed like a good year to step back and focus on this new building,” UNLV College of Fine Arts Dean Nancy Uscher said in a recent chat. “We are looking forward to planning months in advance for 2026.” The event might be staged once more away from the UNLV campus. As Uscher said, “We are exploring options.”

Mel May only realized she was different while reading a news article one day. "Wait, what? Some people hear a voice in their head?" she thought at the time. She was stunned to discover that this was not just a figure of speech—her friends were actually chatting to themselves in their minds.
