@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, the Wada is a test where they temporally freeze one brain sphere , then freezing the other brain sphere. They are trying to find out where your speech , language and memory centers are .
They will ask you to say easy elementary things . They may ask you to say the ABC’s, count to 100 and sing Twinkle little star . That will help them know what side of the brain , the speech, language and memory centers are.
