A pixel circuit for detecting time-dependent visual data includes a photo sensing device detecting a light intensity and generating a signal representing the detected light intensity. The pixel circuit further includes: a voltage amplifier configured for amplifying the signal representing the detected light intensity and generating an amplified signal, the amplified signal being generated by taking into account a control signal which shifts an input voltage offset of the voltage amplifier; a hysteresis comparing module configured for comparing the amplified signal to at least one threshold value and to a reference value and for generating at least one output signal based on the comparison; and a feedback control module configured for generating the control signal of the voltage amplifier based on the at least one output signal generated by the hysteresis comparing module.
