Do you have a check engine light? If so, you can take it to an auto parts store and ask them to read the CEL code. It will likely need a scanner capable of reading ABS codes, but those are pretty common.
My first thought is an intermittent broken wire from one of the wheel speed sensors. They cause virtually the same symptoms, and are common causes of these type symptoms. But the problem is usually triggered when turning or when going over a bump, both of which can flex the damaged wire just enough to cause the system to think it's detecting wheel lock (or wheel slip).
However, in your case, it's caused by applying the brakes. So I'm thinking wheel speed sensor, which means wheel bearings - the sensor is an integral part of the bearing/wheel hub.
The hubs are in the 70-200 dollar range. Shops will charge around 300 bucks parts/labor. It can be a DIY project, but (for the fronts) the axle needs to be slipped out of the bearing, and that can require a puller (ie, special tools). Replacement bolts are specified in the shop manual.
The wheel bearing can be diagnosed by jacking up the car and turning the wheel. Listen for any grinding or rubbing noises. Then rock the wheel side to side, and top to bottom, feeling for play. Any grinding, or significant play in both directions, indicates a bad bearing.
