    First stimulus: 10 nA
    Select the interstimulus interval:
    Select the strength of the second stimulus:

    Fill out this table with the values from the simulation. If none of the stimulus strengths produce a second action potential for a certain inter-stimulus interval (meaning it's within the absolute refractory period), write "none" in the box.
