Can anyone learn to wink?
Not all humans are able to wink voluntarily, and some can only wink one (usually the non-dominant) eye. Others are far better at winking one eye and find it awkward to wink the other. Some people, especially children and adolescents, show a habit of winking involuntarily under stress, often without their own knowledge.

Blinking is a bodily function; it is a semi-autonomic rapid closing of the eyelid.
