This paper deals with the finite-time synchronization problem of a class of fuzzy neural networks with hybrid delays and uncertain nonlinear perturbations. By applying the famous finite-time stability theory, combining differential inequality techniques, and the analysis approach, several new algebraic sufficient criteria are obtained to realize finite-time synchronization between the drive system and the response system by designing a state feedback controller and an adaptive controller. Taking discrete delays, distributed delays, and uncertain nonlinear perturbations into account in fuzzy cellular neural networks makes the neural system more general than most existing cellular neural networks. Two different novel types of controllers designed to achieve finite-time synchronization can not only effectively overcome the influence of time delays and perturbations but also change their form according to the change of system state or perturbation to achieve a better control effect. Meanwhile, some algebraic sufficient criteria obtained in this paper can be proved by the parameters of the system itself, and the complex calculation of matrix inequality is avoided. Finally, the validity of our proposed results is confirmed by several examples and simulations. Furthermore, a secure communication problem is presented to further illustrate the fact of the obtained results.
