The brake lights are controlled by a pressure-activated switch that screws into the under side of the master cylinder. And they work even if the car's ignition is turned off. The thing on the brake is probably for the auto-pilot. Sometimes people wire their own brake light switch on the pedal because the pressure switch is a little slow to respond and they can leak eventually. So it could be that too, but if it was it would probably look odd because it would not be original.
