It is a reflex action which is an autonomic (automatic) nervous system reaction to stimuli. It is the respiratory system and the nervous system working together. The pepper is an irritant to the nasal mucosa and it signals to the brain to sneeze and get it out of there. Another example of a reflex action is when you touch something extremely hot....you quickly pull your hand away.
