1. A bilateral stimulation (BLS) system, comprising a plurality of devices, including:
a first device comprising:
a first tactile stimulator; and
a first communications module;
a second device comprising:
a second tactile stimulator; and
a second communications module;
a controller module configured to communicate with the first and the second communications modules and including logic configured to control operation of the first and second tactile stimulators to induce vibration events according to a BLS program, wherein operation of the first and second tactile stimulators includes at least one pause in vibration for a selected duration between vibration events in the BLS program; wherein either:
the first device or the second device are located in a separate housing or shared housing, said housing further including an insulating material configured to reduce the detectability of audible vibration at a distance of 0.5 meters (m) from the first and second tactile stimulators; or
the first and second tactile stimulators are configured to have a decibel level at or below 35 at a distance of 0.5 meters (m) from the first and second tactile stimulators.
