The images are exactly the same except for the thick black area in the right image (an example of the Poggendorf illusion (1860)). In the figure on the right, there appear to be two continuous diagonal lines: a red and a blue line. What occurs in your visual system that could account for the appearance of the continuous diagonal lines?
