Today I learned that humans can control their lower eyelids. Now, I wonder how to learn to do that...

It's a bit hard to describe but you gotta look at yourself in the mirror and just try it for a while. After a few moments your brain will figure it out. Took me around 15 minutes to get my lower eyelids to move, but now after some days of practicing I can even do it with a single eyelid only!
Some work in front of the mirror. It is relatively easy.

There are muscles that are much harder to control, especially independently.

My wife can't wink, or even close one eye independently. My eye muscles barely work together at all, so this is difficult for me to imagine!
