Shift of functional cerebral asymmetry during the menstrual cycle
TL;DR: This study investigated whether for females, who are said to be less strongly lateralized for cognitive functions than men, hemispheric superiority might depend on the phase of the menstrual cycle, and found that asymmetry in face perception decreased linearly from a large right hemisphere superiority during menstruation to a small left Hemisphere superiority during the premenstrual phase.

Fluctuations of perceptual asymmetry across time in women and men: effects related to the menstrual cycle.
TL;DR: Results for the nonlateralized chair identification task are consistent with the hypothesis that, in women, the left hemisphere is more activated during the midluteal phase of the menstrual cycle relative to the menstrual phase and suggest that hemispheric dominance for specific aspects of information processing are less likely to show phase-related effects.

Changes in ocular and visual variables during the menstrual cycle.
TL;DR: Stereotypical views of an impairment of performance premenstrually and during menstruation are challenged and the shortcomings of, and difficulties associated with, much of the research on this topic are highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, a psychological model with two activation dimensions and a single continuum of energy expenditure is proposed, where one dimension ranges from subjectively defined feelings of energy and vigor to the opposite feelings of sleepiness and tiredness.

Factor Analytic and Reliability Studies on the Activation-Deactivation Adjective Check List:
TL;DR: Two factor analytic studies were conducted on a revised long form and a short form of the Activation-Deactivation Adjective Check List, a self-report test of transitory activation or arousal states, which suggests two general bipolar activation dimensions.
