The proliferation of radio frequency (RF) communication technology in biomedical signal transmission is frequently flustered by electromagnetic interference. Even though the flexibility and mobility of RF-based communication have much attraction, the radiation brings damage to hospital equipments and even harm to humans. In this letter, we propose a novel scheme for transmission of electroencephalography (EEG) biomedical signal using a visible light communication (VLC) link. The data transmission is performed in line of sight (LOS) condition using ON-OFF keying nonreturn-to-zero modulation by utilizing all three components, red, green, and blue, of RGB LED. Experiments are carried out for transmitting EEG signals using the VLC link. The transmitter consists of RGB LEDs, and at the receiver side, three photodiodes with red, green, and blue color filters are installed. The experimental results show excellent reliability and accuracy of the proposed scheme.
