Yes. Look at this.
There are 2 sources emitting particles,
(let us say photons) of the same wavelenght.
If the particles reach an 'interferometer',
one by one, we get an interference pattern
(yes, even if there are 2 different sources,
it is called H-BT effect).
The interference is due to the uncertainty about
wich of the 2 sources (s1, s2) emitted that particle
which is going through the 'interferometer'. It is
a variation of the usual 'which path' issue (double
slit exp.).
d1
/
s1 ----->------------------/bs d2
/|
|
|
|
| /
s2 ----->------------------|/m
/
s1, s2 = sources (independent)
m = mirror
bs = beam splitter
d1, d2 = detectors
Now if we introduce quantum objects
(let us say 2-state systems, like atoms,
or short molecules, or perhaps BECs)
in each of the 2 paths, say O1 and O2,
d1
/
s1 -----O1-----------------/bs d2
/|

s2 -----O2-----------------|/m

we are able to *entangle* these quantum
objects. Not always, of course. We must
discard trivial events, like when particles
(photons) are absorbed by quantum objects,
and other 'special (technicalities here!)
events.
To entangle 2 'brains' (B1, B2) you could
insert B1 and B2 (instead of O1, O2) but
you first need to find 2 'quantum' brains,
imo. Or 2 quantum sub-systems inside each
brain. Then you could imagine something like ...
cosmic rays ... entangling brains, or humans ...
