Reply to “Stimulus, response and excitability – what is new?”

We thank Burke and Kiernan for their interesting and constructive comments (Burke and Kiernan, 2017) on our recent Letter to the Editor (Milants et al., 2017). We agree with most of these comments. It is absolutely correct that by considering only iMAX, we lose valuable information related to the stimulus-response curve, particularly the curve slope or discontinuities in the curve as it can be seen in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Nevertheless, the delta between iMAX and motor threshold values might contain a similar information to the curve slope.
