Is electroencephalography part of anatomy or physiology of the brain?

0

An electroencephalogram is just a monitor of the electrical activity in the brain (fig1). This shows more of the function of the brain (physiology), instead of the anatomy. Even though both are intertwined, anatomy would show the parts of the brain that are responding; the EEG tests the function of a particular area. When the subject does a particular task, the doctors can see if an area fires, helping map areas of the brain to function.
