Regarding the connections, this is something we're working on, and I don't 
think we have anything ready for public release.  If you have something in 
volumetric form, you could display it, and you could view surface and volume 
together, varying the opacity, but I suspect you have something else in mind.

You can plot the ROIs by mapping the paint volume onto one of the atlas 
surfaces:

You can choose the PALS atlas and use one of the standard scenes in this 
dataset:

CARET_TUTORIAL_SEPT06.zip
http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/archivelist.do?archive_id=6595030

... or you can map to one of our mean midthickness "fs_LR" surfaces in FNIRT 
space (i.e., actually mni152, but fnirted that way, rather than flirted or 
SPM'd that way).  While these surfaces align better with the Harvard-Oxford 
atlas, we haven't yet released standard scenes datasets for the fs_LR surfaces. 
It's among the many items on our do-list.  You might find a figure in this 
paper that has surfaces like the ones you want to use:

Van Essen, D.C., Glasser, M.F., Dierker, D., Harwell, J., and Coalson, T. 
(2011) Parcellations and hemispheric asymmetries of human cerebral cortex 
analyzed on surface-based atlases. Cerebral Cortex doi: 10.1093/cercor/bhr291.
http://cercor.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/11/02/cercor.bhr291.full.pdf+html

Those datasets are here:

HUMAN_ATLAS_CC11
http://sumsdb.wustl.edu/sums/directory.do?id=8286149

Keep in mind that the surface onto which you map your ROI volume need not be 
the same surface on which you display it; however, both need to be on the same 
mesh.
