This article provides a conceptualisation of research studies which should evaluate whether changes of electrophysiological late event related potential pattern (latency, amplitudes) could be used to reflect clinical changes from therapeutic intervention with LASER light in patients with symptoms of central auditory processing disorder. The contingent negative variation (CNV) of event related potentials reflects a synchronization of together firing wired neural assemblies responsible for auditory processing, suggesting an accelerated neuromaturation process when applying a LASER device stimulation. It will be discussed whether a LASER stimulation might be useful for a clinical improvement of distraction symptoms caused by auditory processing deficits. A model is presented explaining these effects by inducing the respiratory chain of the mitochondria.
