Correct, multiple studies have proven that a brake light that initially flashes gets drivers attention more quickly than standard brake lights and therefore reduces the likelyhood of rear end collisions. NHTSA & NTSB have both suggested that the current high mount stop light requirement be amended to require a flashing high mount stop light but it has not yet been adopted.

Brake lights that initially flash then illuminate solid when braking are not illegal in any state.
