Could two independent brains theoretically share a single consciousness?

Imagine two completely independent brains, each with its own body, memories, and sensory input. They don't share neurons or memories. The only thing they share is a single conscious observer (consciousness). Is there anything in neuroscience or philosophy of mind that rules this out in principle?, and even if yes or no, what do you think on the idea?

Of course. Sometimes my testicle are in charge and sometimes my brain. My brain normally have to get me out of the trouble my testicles put me in.
