Reflex responses are controlled in your spinal chord, not in your brain (;- your welcome
Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses or impulses. Most reflexes do not involve the brain, however, more complex reflexes have to involve the brain in order to process the reflexes. An example of this would be blinking the eye. This is a complex reflex and it must involve the brain. Also, you must take in the place the reason why reflexes do not involve the brain: because it could cause serious damage to the body. Complex reflexes will not cause serious damage if it uses to brain to produce the impulse.

Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
Simple reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord and do not involve higher brain centers. They are automatic, rapid responses to stimuli that help us react quickly to potential danger or harm. Examples include the knee-jerk reflex and eye blinking.

The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
The brainstem, specifically the superior olivary complex, is responsible for processing auditory reflexes such as the startle reflex and sound localization.
Reflexes are primarily controlled by the spinal cord, which sends immediate signals to muscles to respond to a stimulus without involving the brain. However, the brain can modulate and regulate reflex responses through higher brain centers to some extent.
The medulla oblongata is a part of the brain stem involved in these reflexes. And no your eyes will not pop out if you sneeze with them open. Closing the eyes is part of the reflex and you have no control over reflexes.
