When meditating, blood flow in the brain changes, as different areas are used. The Attention area of the brain is used more, and the orientation area is used less. (Please do not meditate while driving, you'll be very focused, but not on where you are going.) This ties in with the idea of meditating and imagining that you are doing something perfectly, then being better at doing the actual activity.
