ans. 1. - the easiest way is to Ctrl- left mouse click on a blob, and a plot of the data at that surface vertex will appear. the group will be apparent from that (say, demented group is thinner than non-demented group). this data is significance data (log p, so '2' is 0.01), so mean and stdev wouldnt apply in that case. the file 'y.mgh' is the raw data of all subjects in the analysis, so you could extract mean and stdev from that.
ans. 2. - slide the 'annotation' opacity slider to show the annotation data (cortical parcellation). the ctrl left click will also put the region info for that vertex on the lower left of the display. see also: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/QdecGroupAnalysis n.
