no, I want it in the subject's anatomical space. You suggested i use (mri_compute_volume_fractions --o pvf --regheader subjectname ). However, when i use the command i received an error "--regheader flag needs 2 arguments". What other flag should I specify?  Thanks. 
Best, 
Paul.

You would only use that if you wanted the pvf in the FS-specific
"talairach" space. Is that what you want?
