Yes. You may also want the gamma.mgh file as that is the size of the
effect (eg, thickness change in mm )
This would be very useful - an effect size in meaningful units is a rarity in neuroimaging!

I would probably go the other direction, ie, sample the MNI152 maps into
surface space.
This is exactly what I want to do. The question is what is the most accurate way of sampling MNI152 maps to fsaverage?

Best,
