Thanks.

Just as a follow up. What is the format of lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh?
Is this how I would view the entire contents of it:

mri_convert --ascii lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh lh.thickness.fsaverage.mgh.asc

And am I right in assuming that the contents of this file, are my
thickness stats of my subject, after being aligned to fsaverage space,
and that each line is in the correct order that corresponds to each
vertex in fsaverage/surf/lh.{pial,white} ?
