It's your Brake Assist

Brake Assist (BA) In emergencies, some drivers, especially inexperienced ones, often panic and do not apply sufficient pressure on the brake pedal. Brake Assist measures the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pushed to determine whether the driver is attempting an emergency stop. If the system determines that is the case, it applies additional brake pressure to allow the driver to take full advantage of the ABS brake system. When the driver intentionally eases up on the brake pedal, the system reduces the amount of assistance it provides. This feature comes with VSC. Toyota Glossary
it can be a little over-eager at times.

i've had it engage without a panic stop.

but i rarely brake without downshifting to 3rd or 2nd, so the brakes don't get much of a workout.
