Hi! Current neural engineering PhD candidate here. Your question is one I had early on when learning about brain modeling.

Noninvasive EEG sensors measure the synchronous activity of millions of neurons. While circuit equivalents of individual neurons are a well established idea (see Hodgkin-Huxley models for an early example), this approach does not scale to models of the full brain. There is research into using neural mass or neural field models as generative models of EEG/MEG, but those are statistical models over larger volumes of brain.

For a good overview of current efforts in EEG modeling, you might try this open access paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10548-021-00828-2
