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.
