As brain–computer interface (BCI) technology continues to advance, research on human brain function has gradually transitioned from theoretical investigation to practical engineering applications. To support EEG signal acquisition in a variety of real-world scenarios, BCI electrode systems must demonstrate a balanced combination of electrical performance, wearing comfort, and portability. Dry electrodes have emerged as a promising alternative for EEG acquisition due to their ability to operate without conductive gel or complex skin preparation. This paper reviews the latest progress in dry electrode EEG systems, summarizing key achievements in hardware design with a focus on structural innovation and material development. It also examines application advances in several representative BCI domains, including emotion recognition, fatigue and drowsiness detection, motor imagery, and steady-state visual evoked potentials, while analyzing system-level performance. Finally, the paper critically assesses existing challenges and identifies critical future research priorities. Key recommendations include developing a standardized evaluation framework to bolster research reliability, enhancing generalization performance, and fostering coordinated hardware-algorithm optimization. These steps are crucial for advancing the practical implementation of these technologies across diverse scenarios. With this survey, we aim to offer a comprehensive reference and roadmap for researchers engaged in the development and implementation of next-generation dry electrode EEG-based BCI systems.
