It may be better to use the individual subject's "native space"
definitions.  The files in the T1w folder are in what we refer to as native
volume space (it is actually rigidly-aligned MNI space, but rigid alignment
preserves shape, so it can be used as if it were distortion-corrected
scanner coordinates, after the appropriate resamplings).  There are
aparc*+aseg.nii.gz files in that folder, which should be the freesurfer
segmentation/parcellation for that single subject, which contains a
thalamus definition.

If you prefer to use our standard cifti MNINonLinear group thalamus
definition, and work that backwards through each subject's atlas warpfield,
you can get the entire ROI of left and right thalamus by using
-cifti-separate with -volume THALAMUS_LEFT <junk> -roi <roi-output> (and
similar with RIGHT) on any small full-brain cifti file (91282 grayordinates
for 3T data), for instance the template in the Pipelines at
global/templates/91282_Greyordinates/91282_Greyordinates.dscalar.nii .
