Technically, it does not use an anatomical volume but rather the surfaces derived from the conformed volume (so the registration will be good for any conformed volume). No need to reorient the functionals as long as the header info about the head orientation is correct.

Thanks Bruce and Doug! Follow-up questions: which anatomical volume does bbregister register the functional to? Also, is there any need to reorient the functional image before preprocessing?

it uses bbregister. There is no easy way to change it

Use the -per-session option and dont specify a hemisphere or mni305
