Description
In this talk, I will describe what we can hope to learn from upcoming cosmological data, especially from the Planck satellite, about cosmological inflation. In particular, I will show how and to which extent a (non)-detection of primordial non-Gaussianity will enable us to pin down the generation mechanism of the primordial seed fluctuations.
