Abstract
We demonstrate that for small deviations from the regimes of its validity, the method of images (MOI) yields results for the passage time statistics that agree very well with the results obtained via direct numerical simulations of the integrate-fire model. The Gitterman-Weiss (GW) [Moshe Gitterman and George H. Weiss, preceding Comment, Phys. Rev. E (to be published)] calculation, while undoubtedly correct, sheds no new light on this problem, since it is valid in the same parameter regime as the MOI. Moreover, the MOI allows one to accurately predict critical behavior observed in the first passage density function.
