The general problem of the statistics of the primordial curvature perturbation field in cosmology is reviewed. The search for non-Gaussian signatures in cosmological perturbations, originated from inflation in the early Universe is discussed both from the theoretical point of view and in connection with constraints coming from recent observations and future prospects for observing/constraining them.
